So, I volunteered to take a look at a fellow KLOVers Nintendo Vs. PCB. Don't really have the time, but wanted to help out. I was informed that it was tested and working, but one particular game wouldn't work.
So before doing anything, I tested for shorts between +5 and GND. Beep. There was a short. I did a visual and noticed the following near the battery holder. Looks like Acid damage to me and likely the reason the board isn't working. It has always seemed like a common issue in the Pin world, but not discussed as much in the Vid world (except for a few special games) which seemed a little odd to me.
What do you all think? Seems salvageable to me.
