I have 3 FF boards that all have issues.

I'd like to get at least two solid boards out of the three.

1 says bad nvram when it boots
2 does not boot and stays on the garbage screen
3 runs but resets every once in a while and occasionally
doesnt boot properly (cycles endlessly). Sometimes you can
interrupt the cycle by pressing P1 a lot.

I already rebuilt the power supply so I have clean power
with a new big blue.

Can anyone help? Who can repair these? I cant keep buying boards:)

Thanks,
Mike

The resetting one might just be a socket issue, try reseating all socketed chips, check for tarnished sockets too.

The garbled one could be anything from a failed ram to a dead cpu... anythign really...

Nv ram should be a fairly straightforward fix.

I could help you but not sure shipping them would be worth it as I'm in Europe :)
 
Rattanee - Thanks for the advice. I havent had much luck messing with chips. I've killed a couple boards doing that. I'm more of a brute force/replace
caps and such kinda guy:)

Anyone interested in taking these on?

Thanks,
Mike
 
Board side. Are food fight boards tough to repair? I havent seen anyone
mention they do them in the past.


They're no harder to repair than anything else of that era. I have been holding back on offering to help because I have a backlog of about three months right now. If a long wait is OK send me a PM and we'll discuss it.
