So I am having no luck finding a HuC6260 ic to try and fix a turbo express from a botched mod. That chip is trashed and not recoverable. So I was thinking of buying a pc engine console to take the Hu6260 ic from that to put into the turbo express. Would that be possible or is that a lost cause? Thank you for any help.

It would be possible but depends on your skills and confidence. Also, it depends on whether the replacement chip works (and whetherthere are other issues beyond 6260 inthe Express). Generally, people cannibalize dead machines, as they are cheaper - but in those cases, it’s not clear whether the desired parts are working or not.

Yes, it's definitely possible. I'm not a fan of changing out those chips but will do it from time to time if it's for a Turbo Express or DUO since they are worth more.

I got lucky and was able to get my hands of a broken pc engine console for really cheap and pulled the HuC6260 from that. After some slow and tedious repair to some lifted and ripped pads I was able to place the borrowed chip to my Turbo express and got it working again! I am so happy. Thank you all for the replies.
