Well bought a turbo express recently got sound and what seems to be backlight is working, but im getting no picture! Anyone got any idea on how to fix this?

You could try asking over on the technical forum at PCEngineFX.com, but off the top of my head, I'd say you're pretty much screwed. I've never heard of anyone getting their screen to work again, though I suppose that it could happen if it was just a blown capacitor or something. Still, working on those little PCBs is no fun! Just tracking down the problem is a royal pain in the butt...

good luck

I had a GT that slowly started doing this. It worked after it warmed up for about 5 minutes....but didn't work at all last time I turned it on.

I think they are all just dying off....sadly.

I am retiring mine and switching to PSP w/emulator. Not nearly as good as the real deal...but its easier.

Electronic components can look perfect and be dead.

I thought TZD used to sell them but, I just went online and didn't see any. They might have an answer for you though.

Last I heard it was almost impossible to find an LCD for these things - it has to be an NOS replacement one left over from repair parts somewhere, so they're really rare. I don't know (and probably wouldn't understand ) the technical reasons, but apparently there's no "generic" substitute - you can't just buy an LCD screen with the same resolution and plug it in and it will work...
