needing some help with fixing my two broken duos

[swlovinist]

I have two Turbo Duos, one US and other imported for Japan. Both are doing the same thing. They both boot up, play hucards fine, but when I put in a cd, they "click" once and nothing. I have some questions for this forum.

1. Is this just a lens issue or a cd motor issue?

2. I found this link on how to fix the lens.

Do I need more than this to fix what seems to be wrong with my units?

3. Is there any other great walkthrough sites that can help me with this issue? I appreicate all the help. Thanks, John

I would suggest taking it apart and trying to clean it....carefully. There is a little plastic white gear inside the system, make sure it has plenty of grease on it. If that doesn't work, wait for a reply from someone here. I think there are 1 or 2 pople on these forums who may be able to fix them. Duo's are junk. I have went through so many that I gave up and just us the magic engine to play cd's, and bought a loose turbo grafx, and PC Engine. The only way worth playing turbo cd games is to 1. use the magic engine emulator, and pay $15.00 for it. It's well worth it. Or 2. Get a Super Grafx with the Super CD Rom 2 attachment. You will also need a RAU 30 adaptor to be able to hook up the Super Grafx to the Super CD System. This is expensive, but also happens to be the best setup, as you can play all games including Super Grafx games.
