I was able to modify the earphone for stereo sound output with the composite video out.  However i'm getting a lot noise when using a regular earphone. I guess that noise is the video signal. Is there a way around that?

[thesteve]

you need to add a new ground contact as the original lines up with the video pin perfect

[Keith Courage]

Also what kind of ac adapter are you using? An ac adapter with less then 700MA will create some hum especially over headphones.

That's is weird, the audio/video cable I'm using has the video lined up with the right sound channel on the express.

Keith, I'm getting good sound when using the audio/video cable. It is when I'm using a regular earphones is when I'm getting the extra noise.

[thesteve]

then your using the wrong AV cable

[turbokon]

Bummer, I ordered 10 of these cable. I'll just have to cut the yellow and red and switch them around.

[thesteve]

just mark them

[turbokon]

Bumped:) Just ordered some more caps so I'm ready:)

[turbokon]

Added a 2.5" LCD mod option so that no cutting up the front TE/GT shell is needed.

Nice!  I can't bring myself to modding my precious 'Express, but do you have some before and after comparison pics that I can drool over?

[turbokon]

Not yet but I just ordered a couple of the 2.5" LCD but here is a picture of someone's else TE that they modded them self.  It will look like this.

[thesteve]

i never saw the point of replacing with same size, as the original screen is still a quality screen.

[turbokon]

I also prefer the bigger screen. Still an improvement over the original.

[turbokon]

Update the photo links and added pics for the 2.5in LCD mod:)

[alexsduo]

No doubt.  Top notch work and fast.  Did TE and duo cap replacement. Trusting him with these is like trusting him with my kids.

[turbokon]

Haha, thanks and glad to hear everything arrived ok:)

[hoobs88]

I'm interested. Let me know when the screen arrives and I'll send the Turbo Express back to you.

[turbokon]

Added a YouTube video of the two different lcd size mods for the turbo express:)

[syphic]

I have a couple of Turbo Duos and a Turbo Express Id like recapped. I can pay in cash or trade for games.

[turboswimbz]

Just got my DUO back.  Had the caps replaced and got a region mod.  Everything Work and looks great.  The sound and picture quality looks better, and it started out pretty good to begin with.
  Thanks again.

[turbokon]

Good to hear it arrived ok. It was the first time I placed a switch on the side wall of the hucard slot.

[turboswimbz]

actually it works quite well, It's quite natural to reach in and move it, yet I've been playing a lot of hu cards and I haven't accidently hit the switch or anything.  Also with the dust cover closed the unit looks like nothing has been changed.

[turbokon]

Added a pic of the last region mod I did for a member here and adjusted prices.

[turbokon]

Added the turbografx-16 LED mod to my list of services:)

[turbokon]

Just added another YouTube video link:)

Hey guy, I gonna have to take a break from doing anymore repairs/mods services for a while. I'm currently neogiating for a job offer in Savannah, Georgie and look like we're getting close. So I need to start thinking about packing and getting my home ready for the market and therefore I'm going to be busy in the coming weeks. I have a few turbobs coming my way to work on and will finish those up before I move. If you guys need any work done, there are a few out there that can certainly help you out. Just to name a few, thesteve, keithcourage, bluebmw, chop5, and sorry if I missed anybody else. Thanks.

[MotherGunner]

Hey Turbo, good luck man.  I spent quite a few drunken days in Savannah.  If you ever get down to the docks, do a shot at Wet Willy's for me!

[sdufore]

Turbokon did a wonderful job in fixing my Turbo Duo.  He did a full cap replacement and also solved a memory save issue with the system.  Turned out that there was a missing resistor that was never installed when the system was manufactured.  Turbokon was very diligent in debugging the problem and kept in constant communication with me so that I knew what he was working on.  Thanks to him I can now play my Duo games that use the memory save feature.  Now I just need to beat the high scores that he racked up and saved on my Duo while testing the system to make sure the memory save feature worked. 

Thanks again Turbokon.

[turbokon]

Thanks mother, you bet I will:)

No problem sdufore, shouldn't take you too long to beat my score:)

[tiptopjames]

grabbed a region modded duo of turbokon. the mod is discrete and slick, and functions flawlessly. definitely support his work!

[Komodos]

Are you still doing these mods?

[turbokon]

Sort of, I had to scale back since my move to Georgia. What do you need done?

[bob]

Another +1 for TK. Just got my tg back with PCE switch. PSYCHO CHASER!

[turbokon]

Added a picture of a duo I just modded:)

[turbokon]

Added some pictures of my component video modded turbografx-16:)

[MotherGunner]

Turbo that looks awesome.  Question, what is the benefit of this solution versus direct RCA plugs?
