@yavuzg Fantastic repair job mate! I really enjoyed your very detailed walkthrough. I have repaired a couple of bootlegs myself and I surely know how it feels...This game is like a holly grail for many of us.Loved it since I was a kid,still enjoy playing it! :-) Being a C64 guy myself and quite...

+1 for me please!

@Darksoft Thanks! ...and I love your arcade projects and everything you've done so far for all of us ;-)

Gladly, but it's a NAOMI-I system...Here they come.... Looks nasty, doesn't it? Here is the "after" stage... During process...4 more left... Warning Be extra careful not to break the pads and pcb tracks!!! I cannot recommend this to a beginner. The whole process is hard and certainly...

Just did it for a NAOMI I system as well.The system works like a charm now ;-) Please don't ask me for a cap list because I forgot to take notes...but I do remember there were LOTS of them!

Neat! ;-)

Glad you fixed your board! Well done! Thanks also for the cap map!

Very sad news...Sorry for your loss...

That's an excellent idea! Unfortunately not, I haven't this info in my notes but the board is still on my bench so I will gladly do it tomorrow (it's getting late now in Greece and I have to walk both my kids straight to bed ;-) ).

Yes, that's the case...no audio at all, just a black screen and some instant twitch indicating that Triforce III is on. Screen remains black...

Never had a PC Engine duo, must be a magnificent machine...Worst cases I believe were PC Engine GT and of course Game Gear early hand held consoles...It is unlike to find a good working one, with full sound and good display, without being treated with some sort of internal intervention ;-) Any...

Hi there! "Random reboot/resets" and/or "black screen during power on", seem both common problems on many aged TRIFORCE III arcade systems. These puzzled me a lot till I found that culprits were the smd capacitors on base board. Excessive heat inside the metal cage in combination with prolonged...

Maybe it's a power issue. I had all these issues with my Triforce 3 systems, but after I replaced all the smd capacitors to the base board, they work flawlessly...instant power on, crystal clear audio/video signal out and no random reset / reboot... I will post a cap list and some kind of repair...

Consider it done! ;-)

Oh!,alas not...and they are too many of them. I was so angry with this Triforce, I completely forgot to take notes. It took me about 2 hours to get the job done. I am planing to recap another Triforce next week. I will do my homework then and let you know... I bet that these dried out smd caps...
