OK, this was my second attempt at this repair and get the same result. I have since sold off the first one. Trying to do the sound repair on the Turbo Express, since these are notorious for weak or no sound, as illustrated here:

My problem is I can fix the sound without issue, but then I lose video. The screen lights up but nothing on display. I have taken this thing apart a zillion times now and looked for bad connections and what not, and on rare occasions the video will come back. If I put it back together while the video is working, it will stay working. Turn it off for awhile and then try it, it loses video again. It seems to be a heat related issue. Sometimes I can leave the unit on for 10 minutes or so, then turn it off and back on, and sometimes that will do the trick and I can get video once again.
At this point, this is a pretty rare little gadget and I don't want to risk any more damage than I might have already somehow caused. So I'm just curious if theres any "experts" out there in KLOV land that can look at this for me. I'd like to not lose my shirt either, but I would compensate for time and materials of course.
Anyone want to take this on?
