Hi, i got the common issue from the PC engine.

I have a PC engine duo-R and he start to have sound problem.

Both the Japanese Duo and the Duo-R use Torx screws, not 4.5 mm gamebit screws.

Interesting, my Duo RX is regular Phillips where my blue Core Graphx is 4.5 gamebit.

do you know the exact size of the Torx i need to use?

I think it might be T8, but you can buy sets of Torx bits from most hardware stores and that should cover it.

Sounds like a busted laser, judging by your previous problems. Look around for a HOP-M3 laser, it's a fairly common part and should only cost you $20-30.

cool, could it any HOP-M3 laser or is there a preference?
