I bought a final fight cart and a full magic sword board set. When I boot the magic sword board it plays the music and then shows me some scrambled graphics. I swapped the final fight cart onto the cps1 motherboard. It immediately makes a yelling sound, like from hagger or something, but then does not fire up. So I'm guessing the cps1 motherboard is messed up, how do i fix it?
 
Yeah...

CPS1 systems will play audio immediately when turned on if the 68K CPU won't come up.

Check for bent pins on the connectors or broken traces on the bottom of the board.
 
Small area

I founf 2 empty holes a ways away from the 68k chip, they look to have some shiney scrubbed up traces, but don't look broken, it it possible the 68k chip is dead, or just needs to be reflowed?
