CPS-2 A board - How to remove original Capcom bolt?
:edit: the title should read CPS-2 B board
So, I'm proud to report that after causing my SF Alpha board to suicide while replacing the battery, I successfully swapped 3 out of 3 batteries without incident.
...and then I got to my Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers board. The bolt at the top of the board seems to be unremovable. It is perfectly round on both sides. The top (game label side) has a very shallow Capcom 'C' stamped in it. The other side is perfectly flat.
I tried using some different security bits, but the metal is pretty soft and it started causing damage.
I suppose two pairs of very skinny needle nose piers might do the job, but I'm hoping somebody know the proper way to remove this bolt...without cutting or damaging it.
I also tried prying the case open as far as I could, but the keying on the board's female connectors prevent it from being removable from the case with that bolt in place.
Any ideas?
