[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Duo RX powerless]

Well yeah, its a Duo RX that i have and it`s powered by the PAD-129 which came with it in the box. I used the step-down converter to drop down the voltage to 120V +/- because here in swiss is as you mentioned with a 230V 50Hz system. The duo rx needs 100V as that would be the Jap. voltage system.
I bought the machine from a HK shop some 8yrs. ago (second hand) and was running smoothly until last year when it powered out.
I`d check on those points you mentioned and post the results...if any.

Big up Terry

Thanks for the reply man. I tried to power it up using another adapter (from the megadrive) as it had the same specifications, and still no power...i`m still searching for a good multimeter tho`, so i could really check it up. The fuse looks different from the duo r`s, so i`m still researching on the matter. Could just be a blown fuse...
The voltage output here is 220-230 V, which could be a factor for bustin`up the duo. I have used a step-down converter for it, but still has a 10-20 V difference in the step-down conversion.

Greetz PC Engine Friends, my duo rx has no power. Would someone have any suggestions on how to repair this? I know it sounds a bit lame, and i tried searching fotr solutions on the repair guides posted on the forums here; but still didn`t find a solution...could be that i haven`t looked intensively tho`.
So if someone could give me a headz up to where or who i could ask for advice regarding the matter...would be greatly appreciated.
