Title: HELP ME PLEASE!
Post by: b2brennan on April 25, 2005, 01:32:48 PM

I have original TG-16 that operates fine except for one huge thing:  I have four turbo pads and when plugged in, none of them work.  I doubt ALL of them are no good, but im not sure what to use to open the console up.  What to do? Thanks in advance for any responses.

First off, try to use a pin and clean out the controller connectors, there is no way to see if there is something stuck in it. After you do that try to reinsert a controller and see if it works. If it doesn't it might be a problem with the port at a chip level, at which point the system is worthless. There is no other way to disassemble the controller port.
