[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: REPAIR GUIDE - TG-CD: Total capacitor replacement chart + useful info]

16 V is OK/safe. The circuit board generally operates at ~5 Volts DC after the power regulator, so capacitors that are rated 10 V or above are safe. But the bigger they are, the better they are: they last longer, handle "ripple" better and sometimes there is power inverting going on so they need to be of higher voltage in that area of the board. This comes at the expense of size and $$$: a 25 V cap is physically bigger and more expensive than a 16 V cap, etc. Anyhow, I was confused about this as well when I got started, but there ya go. When replacing a capacitor, you simply need to match the capacitance value exactly, but the max breakdown voltage can be equal or higher (and higher/bigger is better/safer).

yeah i understand that higher voltage caps can be used, but was just putting out there that mine were 16v and you dont have to use big ol' 25v;p but thanx for putting up some good info!

no thank you for giving me the lolz!
guess i made a real noob mistake not know what an ass you are, guess im guilty.
if it take all this drama to be raffle i would have never enter any of the.
so, Mr Helgeson, you have showed what a true creep you really are and am sure that no noobs will come your way.
I have made my point/ deafened myself and am done with this.
now the floor is yours to do as will, call me whatever you want, but we know who the real creep is....

its one thing to disagree with some one, its another to accuse them of shit with not so much as an ounce of proof. Making comments about his kids, or making "pedo" statements outside of fighting street is grounds for removal as far as i'm concerned. You guys wanna hash it out....fine. but calling mike a pedo is so far off base its unreal. your not gonna get far with the community making unqualified statements like that. take it to fighting street. my two cents.

never said he was pedo once, just said he "looked" like one.

and to, PCEngineHell, you act like all I've done since I've been here is join contest.
I have entered 3, including yours, all within the same week. it'd really be different
if within the 3yrs that ive been here it was over 20, and making post begging for things...like you've made me out to be.
hell, just because I haven't made a lot of form post, doesn't mean i haven't interacted with any one, meaning by pm's.

...Wow. And to think, you maybe would've been able to enter another raffle instead of self combusting.

and he didnt self combust, by going into a photobucket upload fest? just throwing it back at him...
if you read all of the thread, i guess you see it fit too to crap on new people too, right?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Random PCE stuff for raffle (known villains need not apply)]

remember your the one who started this and brought it to this level, by being very rude "go fuck off noob"
"you must be very obsessed or have been band under other names"
nope i have never known of you till this, and dead_man94 has been the only name Ive ever had on this form. but as for you, you have a major shit streak on the internet / other forms that 5min of goggle search brought up.

so here some "real fun facts about you: goes by different form/ebay names from starting to much shit .
Mike Helgeson/ PC-ENGINE HELL/ Amakusa666.
is a sad single father (almost 40yr old) that has no life, makes his living being a reseller on ebay and spamming other forms for sales..ie digipress, and other toy sites.
loves gi joes more than his wife...that has nothing to do with him...wonder why
has to pay his daughters in change to help mail his ebay items off  
best of all, the creepy mug..lolz!

hehe, id probably be single too if I looked like a 70s pedo.

remember, you started this for know other reason than to pick at how many post I have and call me "a fucking noob"/ make yourself feel superior than myself.

this is why I like just watching and reading post, instead of writing, because some douche seems to want try and call people out and throw the noob word around/ start flame wars...because thats 40yr old men do right?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Random PCE stuff for raffle (known villains need not apply)]

lol, what a turd....

as for your facebook, you dont have 1 single pic of yourself. unless they're hidden, which I would if I were you too
also, I say "youtube" because I seen your sad little channel. and yes, its not about popularity on youtube you have to worry
about, because it seems that already have your own little kingdom here on pcfx....HAIL Mr king pcfx ....you should make that your sig

well off to do more villain things, and hoard up on more contest...

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Game not working]

if other methods are not working, you can do what always works for me, use some light steel wool on the contacts of the hu-card.
you can also use a very light grit sandpaper for the pins in the cart slot.
hope ya get it working!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: TG/PCE CDROM repair and more]

thanks a lot for this great thread, helped greatly in diagnosing my cd rom system.
now i have my ifu up and running great!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: REPAIR GUIDE - TG-CD: Total capacitor replacement chart + useful info]

just got done recapping my pc engine cd rom, and wanted to make a note that I had (5) 4.7uf 16v caps, instead of the 25v listed.
might help someone thats replacing them and thinking they have to find 25v caps.

thanks Red Ghost "for this cap guide" and chop5 "for what pots need adjustment" almost thought i had a dead laser, but end up being dead caps.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Random PCE stuff for raffle (known villains need not apply)]

wow, lol, i've seen you on other forums, you are just an argumentative fucker. u wanna call other people re sellers, you are on ebay selling turbo graphics and other old video game systems, so my friend you are a re seller and therefore should be a "known villain" and what exactly have you contributed to this community? i have gone through and checked out your comments, basically you have went through and corrected and people and tried to make yourself look superior. u seem to be a 35 yr old overweight, nerd who sits on his computer with nothing better to do but be condescending to others... "scared to show yourself on youtube"? and "edit"? i don't need to, you are the biggest thread crapper ever, so, i thought i'd crap on yours. i know i said i wasn't gonna respond to this, but i just can't believe that you would be so offended by someone making a simple post, its very unnerving that there are people out there, that have so little to do with their time. all you simply had to do, was not enter me, problem solved. instead, you were a little dick about it and started shit that didn't' have to be.

13 post in over 3 years, and 3 of those post are for entering raffles, so no, fuck off noob.

what a rude little bi*#h. it doesn't matter how long, or how many post ive made!!
there was no rules to how many post need to be made, so go troll you're butt-hurt police
havin' self somewhere else!

I shouldn't have to have to explain myself to anyone, but since you seem to be so worried about it, i will....
I became a member 2yr ago to find some info on a repair, a region mod and a sale. then got into some other hobbies,
and forgot about this site ...yep, so im back now, havin' fun getting back into the scene....also, far from a noob!
only noobs usually toss that word around, because they've been called that so much
 
Ive also been reading a lot of arguing and thread-crapping on here by a lot of members on here
just to start crap for the heck of it. there's no reason for it, were all on here for the same reason.
to get more knowledge/ share our favorite hobby!
mods should definitely get sh*T starters like this. so yes, the thread is now yours to crap away, I'll not
feed the fire anymore ...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: pce duo adapter]

hey thanx for the info ma'man!
one question though, are the load times
suppose to be long on the duo's?
before a screen will load you'll hear some clicks,
then a pause, then it'll load.
 

Your adapter should work fine if the connector fits. The TurboDuo ac adapter outputs DC10v and 1000mA. It is also center positive, like the one you possess. It does not matter that your ac adapter outputs a higher amperage as the console will only draw out as much as it needs. Regarding your ac adapter being  DC9v instead of DC10v, you should not see a performance loss as ac adapters tend to output slightly higher voltages than they are rated at. The one thing that anyone should always be careful with when using aftermarket ac adapters, is polarity. Using an ac adapter that is center negative in a device that requires center positive will fry said device. An example of the afforementioned frying can be witnessed when using a NES ac adapter on a Famicom. I'll enclose a polarity chart for anyone looking to use any aftermarket ac adapters with their electronic devices.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / pce duo adapter]

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS/FT - Core Grafx II w/ Super CD-Rom2 atachment]

I ended up going with a Duo-R console, so my Core Grafx II and Super-CDROM2 attachment are currently just hanging out in the closet.

The Core Grafx II is in perfect shape. The Super-CDROM2 is in fully functioning shape, but the eject button is pissed off to a slight degree. I had a friend re-grease the cd rom tracks, but I didn't really want to do much to the eject button. It works fine, its just 'sticks' a bit.

Comes w/ all the necessary cables, but NO controller.

$150 + shipping. I uber-pack all my shipments, and its USPS w/ delivery confirmation or no sale. Paypal only please

Also willing to trade for AES / Import Saturn / PC Engine / Jaguar / PC-FX games, so tell me what you have and I may be interested if they are some of the better ones

Pics available upon request. Its packed away in the closet, so serious buyers only before I go dig it out

TRADE LIST

AES - Matrimelee / The Last Blade / any shooters / other carts (tell me what you have)
PC Engine - Shooters (cd and hucard), Rondo of Blood
Jaguar - Tell me what you have
