Turbo Express not working. No power. please help!

[turboexpress]

Thanks! I was thinking of doing that, but why would some other bad cap cause no power and no backlight?

Some people have leaked video and audio capacitors and their TE still powers on, and they get backlight. Makes no sense.

Anyways I guess this is my only option, I will go ahead and replace all the caps and see what happens.

btw what is 7508 reg? where is it? I can't find it

Start with replacing all the capacitors, it needs to be done anyways (you'll probably be surprised by how much leakage there is underneath the caps that you cant see until you pull them off) If it still doesnt work after all that, let me know and I'll direct you to someone who knows a ton about these things.

thank you sir. will try that definitely.

How do I get to the capacitors that are under the metal plate in the center? I can't see how to remove the shield.

It's soldered in place. Examine the edge of the shield and you'll see where the tabs stick through.

awsome!! got the shields off!! thanks for yer help. Just waiting on a few capacitors to arrive. Gonna replace one by one and then assemble, test, reassemble etc.
I hope this pays off because I read in some threads on other forums that I might have a burnt out backlight or a bad transformer etc. I really hope I can fix this by just doing a capacitor swap. we will see.

If that ends up being the case, dont worry about it, I know someone who either will have original screens or can do a screen swap with a larger, better screen.
