Turbografx-16 - Part 1 - Repairing bad controller plug - Fixing Ebay Junk

About this video

A TurboGrafx-16 gives no response from its controller, and the maker traces the fault to a faulty controller plug before getting the console working again.

Good to know: Any soldering on the plug means burns and fumes; old solder contains lead. Part 1 of a series.

Why watch it

Owners whose TurboGrafx-16 ignores the controller get a diagnosis that ends at the plug, not the console. Only a stop-gap is used here, as the replacement cable was still on order.
