I'm looking for a diagram or if someone has one they could look at real quick, I'm missing capacitors at C6, 75, 76, 77, 182, 184, and 185. If anyone could look real quick I'd really appreciate it. The game works without them, I just don't feel like chancing anything.
 
They are all 100uF caps. Many boards are designed to use decoupling caps and then are left out when they are not needed. If your game runs fine you can leave them empty with no problem.
 
I don't have one of those boards but make sure to understand the schematic or check another board to see if they're supposed to be present. You can cause a lot more harm than good if you're installing parts that need NOT to be populated.
 
I picked up a non-working BT board a while back which had broken traces from improper storage I imagine. I repaired the traces but mine still doesn't boot (quick flash of color on the monitor and then just goes black). I looked around for schematics with no luck. Are they available somewhere? Or is there another very similar board for which schematics are available? Sure would make troubleshooting easier!
 
Its just looks weird cause it definitely looks like they were snipped out comparing to other boards and the battery was taken out, which isn't as big as a deal as the caps.
