Recapped the #turbografx16. On the PAL TG16 I destroyed a few pads. Most caps are connected on the top on one side. So it is better to heat the pad topside and remove it. Also make sure to suck out the solder on those ads before putting new ones. Will make it easier. #pcengine #PCエンジン

Gave it a quick clean (Dasty) before putting everything back together again. No RGB mod needed as I will mod the CD dock for RGB. Then I remembered I should do the jailbar fix first! Turned it on and don't really notice jailbar, but weren't they more visible with RGB? #pcengine #turbografx16 #PCエンジン

Did the jailbar fix, used smd parts because I did not have the right value ceramic caps (4.7uF, C133 and C138). Thought about replacing the 7805 but don't really have anything to replace it with. And the original one has NEC on it :)
