Well, as the name implies, I recently picked up a Mr Do game for the low low price of NOTHING. I asked the previous owner if it worked and he thought a fuse needed to be replaced. I got the game home and after about five minutes of digging through the cab I found a wire on the power supply had been chewed through. I re-soldered it and nervously flipped the switch....it fired right up.
Truthfully I have never heard or seen a Mr Do game, so didn't really know what the graphics should look like.
I knew there were issues with the monitor board (note the video curling on the left side of the screen)
After more research I started to suspect there were PCB problems as well, the graphics/colors weren't right. I decided to take a chance and ordered another PCB, plugged it in, WOW what a difference.
The curl was still on the screen so I knew a cap kit was in order. Thanks to Bob Roberts, installed the new cap's, took about an hour and a half or so. Again, nervously I flipped the switch and noticed an immediate difference!!!
Before,
After,
The graphics were brighter, crisper and most importantly...NO CURL. That's all I have for now. I plan on posting more work as I am able to get to it. Thanks for looking.
