    Has anyone used AI to aid in repair?

    I fully understand your contrasting comments here. I see the problem as one of a lack of knowledge. Someone like you could look at an AI generated response, and understand if it is right or wrong. Now I want you to go back to when you were new to this. You no longer have the knowledge you...

    Has anyone used AI to aid in repair?

    My wife asked “is Spinal Tap 2 still in theaters?” AI’s FAIL answer: There is no such movie (wrong).

    Wow, what a survivor! None of the usual "white" blotches through the art from people's hands wearing the art off.

    Did you look down the gun barrels? I've found: 1. Gum 2. Crud 3. Stuff stuck in the gun barrels. I had to use ice, solvent and a pick to remove it. Clean the lens and it worked.

    Sorry I missed that. Disconnect the cheap broken TV and see if it plays blind.

    I'd still bet on the LCD then. The inverters for the light sources can fault to ground. Disconnect power to the LCD and power it up. Coin it - if you hear it play blind, you found your problem.

    Yep, sadly that's the case. They were a money maker on my route 13 years ago, and I enjoyed "troubleshooting" them (literally) on occasion. They just don't hold value. I'd bet on the CRT before I'd bet on the guns. You should be able to disconnect each device one at a time to find the problem.

    Solved (I think) - Sinistar Freezes During Title Screen and Gameplay

    I likely would be amazed. I've learned that the best way to figure out something is to sample it and get it tested. Of course, that was when I worked for a company who made billions of dollars a year, and when something was a problem, you darn well better be able to tell the manager what the...

    Solved (I think) - Sinistar Freezes During Title Screen and Gameplay

    That brown material looks biological more than corrosion. Why not rust? Well, no steel in this area. The solder mask is tin, the legs are tin, so no place for rust. Now look at the pattern - it almost looks like mold or some bacterial form, rather than corrosion.

    Solved (I think) - Sinistar Freezes During Title Screen and Gameplay

    I understand that. I'm trying to understand what caused that effect. It doesn't look like rust to me. It looks more like something took a dump in the area.

    Try bending your body like that. It doesn't go well.
