Title: Need TurboExpress fix
Post by: PUSH_RUN_BUTTON! on August 26, 2020, 11:46:44 PM

I’ve got a TurboExpress with the button hold region mod (as well as an LCD upgrade). Recently, it stopped reading game cards (I just get solid color or black screens mostly), which I’ve heard is a frequent problem related to the region mod and that the region mod should be removed.

Anyone up for the task/work? Or know a good go to person in here for this sort of work and general Turbo/PCE modding work? I’ve got this and some other possible work and willing to pay. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

You can't go wrong with Keith.  :mrgreen:

Hopefully your issue is a bad region mod or bent pins in the card slot itself. A solid color screen can also be a sign of a faulty chip on the motherboard. Feel free to message me if you'd like to send it to me for repair.
