Hi,

I purchased a Turbostar 432 from ebay and when I put the batteries in it today, nothing would respond. After an hour of testing I found the problem to be one of the Sensor Pads to be worn and when the Chess piece (Magnetic) was on its square it was triggering the pad on Boot Up sending the Computer into a spin/lockup.

Could this be repaired. Has anyone attempted this type of repair. The pad is clearly worn and its sagging in from over use. The smallest amount of pressure triggers it...even tapping the console will trigger it.

Has anyone ever pulled off the sensor pad to attempt a repair.

Btw, ty for replying to my last question. I had to start a new thread as I cannot open my last one to thank anyone. All other threads open buy my previous one. My last topic was about upgrading with the KSO Modules. When I opened the case today there are infact 2 ROMS installed. I assume one must be the KSO.

I am in a battling to get a refund off the seller, in my experience this sensor pad is none repairable. Its stretched and sagging into the sensor trigger holes.

Ty
Steve How.
