I am picking up a Baby Pac this weekend. It is not working. Is this a common failure? I would be interested in one of these but it may be a week or to before I get around to poking at it.
Most common problems with them are the MPU which has the battery and leaks acid all over it. The videots also suffer from acid damage because they are right under the mpu. Even if the videot appears to have no acid damage chances are if you pull the sockets your going to find corrosion on the sockets pins.
The good news is the MPU board is available new. The videot however, is not.
I am interested in the board. Just had one question. I am looking at changing out my vidiot on my Baby PacMan. Issue with sound. Hear it barely from the speaker and no way to adjust since I have the volume at the loudest setting. It was working sporadically before it just got so low. Do you think switching out the board will take care of the issue?
