I'll split this up, but i don't wanna take up space with multiple threads.
1. I have a Street Fighter World Warrior board that's got some graphical issues. I'd flip the dip to run a test on the board, but there's no dip switches there! Just solder pads. So my question is, can I take 8-pin dip switches from a dead board I have and set it in there to toggle? Would that work?
2. On testing color problems on a monitor, can you diagnose by taking off the colored, insulated leads that go to the top of the tube from the neck board? By switching those around, can you tell if it's the tube or one of the boards?
3. I'm following a video sync trace down my Time Killers PCB (found in another post), and it disappeared under what I think is a silver security chip. It's got 4 pins, and is colored in the attached image. Can I remove this thing without killing the board? As long as I don't power up?
4. Where the best place to get a cga to rgb converter so I can save some space on my test bench?
Thanks much in advance!!!
