@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

anybody know where those lines go?  It looks like there are three right next to eachother, two from that group of resistors and a third I can't tell where it comes from.

I think I may see the problem.  If you look in this picture directly to the right of where it says CC10, the board is damaged from when somebody replaced those capacitors.  You can see the headphone jack is melted too.  Like I said in a previous post, that set of caps were replaced already when I got it, and not very well, so I replaced them again.  I think the connection from R719 and R723, maybe more, were damaged.  I'm sure I could bypass that bad spot if I knew where they went.

I checked a bunch of resistors, and they all seemed fine.  There's so many, it's possible I missed some.  But there's the number on each one, and my meter gave that same number when I checked them.  There's one, labeled R723 that has a 000 on the back of it, and that's what the meter read, but it looked like one of the contacts was different than the rest, like the solder had been melted or something.  I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I tried to melt it down hoping if the contact was broken to repair it.  It didn't change anything, so either that resistor has an issue, or it's something completely different.

Yeah, that could be.  This one, somebody had already replaced a couple capacitors, I think the ones for video, and they did a really poor job, so I replaced them all.  Maybe they messed something up when they did that.  I'll look a little deeper and see if I find anything.

I checked them, and they all look good, and tested good.

I recently purchased two Turbo Express systems.  I replaced all of the caps in both, and they both have great sound and video.  My problem is that on one of them, the controls don't work. 

I did replace the cap on the control board, so I know it's not that.  If I take the control board from the good TE and swap it with the bad one, I get the same thing, and the bad TE's board on the good TE, it works fine, so I'm assuming it is something on the main board.

When I play the racing game, I honestly can't think of the name of it, it goes to a name entry screen and the cursor starts moving around, but still no response from the controls.  Does anyone have any idea of where I should look, or what I should do?
