    I opened up my duo-r and found a fuse inside which I think is the problem. The Pc engine will turn on and it will play discs and hu cards but it has no video display just sound.

    Does anyone know exactly what kind of fuse I need and where I can order it? The fuse has a triangle symbol and the power supply has the same symbol.

    I live in the US and I really should've but I never used a voltage converter. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and yes this is my first post on assembler games ever.

    Hmmm..
    Did it work properly before or you just got it like that?

    Did you actually test the fuse with a multimeter?
    I dont think it is a fuse problem or the whole thing would just not work.
    I dont think there is a fuse for only the Video encoder.

    It worked when I got it and I didn't test the fuse. I had been using it for almost a year and then it happened. I also used a turbo everdrive with it

    Do you have a multimeter?
    I would start by properly testing the cable and the AV connector first.
    Duo-R have that filmsy din AV connector that is prone to failure.
