I'd recommend practicing on a peice of dead or unwanted electronics to get comfortable before you tackle something expensive. Remove and replace existing components on the board a few times until you feel comfortable. The fuse is through-hole, so you may need an older peice of electronics to practice with. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=187569 2019-06-17T15:34:21 -05.00 Turbo Maniac 9 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=187569 2019-06-17T10:22:13 -05.00 Turbo Maniac 9
As to who to get for service, I'd reach out to someone like Voultar on Twitter for a recommendation. I do my own work, so I don't have someone to personally refer you to. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=187569 2019-06-17T10:06:14 -05.00 Turbo Maniac 9 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=187569 2019-06-17T10:00:43 -05.00 Turbo Maniac 9 Originally posted by: Duke.Togo

If it's the fuse, it's a pretty easy fix. I would HIGHLY recommend that you have it recapped at the same time. The capacitors on the main board are notorious for leaking, and I narrowly avoided permanent damage to mine when I recapped it. Might as well toss on a new belt as well if you are going that far. Agreed, all these issues are only a matter of time. The first time I worked on my model 1, I only replaced the fuse. A few months later the caps went out. You can tell this when you turn it on and only the background screen loads, no menu options or Sega logo. Do it all at once and save yourself some time and headache.

Are these hard to replace? Anyone know someone who fixes them? ]]>
