Title: Repair people in the US
Post by: cho_aniki on 05/02/2024, 10:47 AM
Hello everyone,


I haven't been on the forums for quite a long time.

One of my Turbo Duo's has a faulty CD drive which I am so far struggling to fix.

Are there any reliable people on the forums that offer a repair service ?

If I don't come right, I am thinking of taking the console with me on a trip to the US and sending it in for repairs, assuming such a service is available (I am based in South Africa).

Any information in this regard would be appreciated.

Hi Ben, wow, you go way back to the early years of PCEFX in 2006! I thought you were a new registration for a minute there. Welcome back then, yeah, this is a rebooted PCEFX forum with some upgrades here and there. Thousands of images that were watermarked or lost are now recovered /cached /protected which has been my primary focus hence why the theme is still ugly/unfinished. Images are lost every other month until action is taken so that's more important.

Alright, so @Keith Courage (Chris Computers) from Indiana is active and recently visited. Just PM him or reach him with the Facebook link like I do. You literally just missed him when I asked for tech help for @elartur77's problem, he's you're best bet!

The others I know are retired and the rest are in Canada (Jodi Whetham @ Turbo Reproductions) so shipping costs are higher.

Thanks so much for the advice. I will try contacting Keith Courage if I don't come right in the next day or so.

Yes, I was a member back in the early days, and used to spend a lot of time on the site.

Great to hear from you NightWolve, and good to be back.
