So I'm working on a 4-Player X-Men cabinet. Originally it's issue was the audio would sometimes cut out, sometimes it would be fine & sometimes there was static, sometimes loud sometimes faint & the static would play whether the audio was working or not.

So I figured it was the 054544. I ordered one of Ian Kellog's reproduction PCB, at first I thought it was for the best because mine was was a little worse for wear; one of the ceramic caps on the bottom was chard up & as I removed it 054544 it got a nice inch long crack in it.

I moved the DAC & ASIC from my old 054544 to the new one, I checked for shorts & made sure the DAC & ASIC made connection with their corresponding legs on the 054544 with a continuity tester & that all seemed to check out fine.

I popped in the new 054544 & I got a bad 6F & 6G. Figured a trace broke. I took out the new chip to check for broken traces & I found I 3. I jumped them & then the cabinet wouldn't stop resetting, just flashing garbled graphics. I tried disconnecting the jumps I made to fix the traces to see if I could get it to at least the rom check & if one of the jumps I made is disconnected it will get to the rom check but it will now say 6F, 6G, 7C, & 2F are all bad now. I believe it's the 35th leg on the 054544 that I made the jump to that causes the resetting.

Anyone have any ideas on how I should come at this next. I'm like 99% positive the jumps I made are correct but obviously I did something wrong. I'd like to get this working but I've become so distraught after making a minor problem worse then worse still, I'm pretty close to just buying another board.
