My area 51/maximum force duo has been flaky lately. It would run cold then start freezing in attract mode hot, freezing during gameplay, etc. If i gently rocked the cab, it would unfreeze and keep playing for awhile. FYI this was the last duo kit arcade services had for the single board(this was originally a maximum force)
Since reorganizing my gameroom now it comes up says setting defaults then goes to a blank screen, reboots and watchdogs due to ide? Im assuming its talking about the drive. Alot of the time i dont feel or hear the drive spinning up. Voltages check ok. I have replaced the ide cable already.
What are my chances i just have a bad drive? Id like to upgrade it so something more robust something solid state but i dont want to spend that money untill im sure its just a drive issue.
