I have a working Cruis'n USA sitdown cab
(...with 3 extra working USA PCB sets ! )
...and one non-working Exotica PCB .
Ideally I'd love to upgrade my USA cab into an Exotica,
but I've got a few hurdles to jump for that...
1- Get the Exotica fixed.
------------------------
From what I know, I "should" be able to see at least the eprom boot sequence
with only the Jamma adapter connected. But right now I see nothing.
I know I'm getting power, because the power LED is lit.
...but beyond that, nothing. No even a blip on the screen...
Does anyone repair these ? (...for less than the cost to buy a new one ... !?!? )
Any tips as to what to look for ?
2- Convert the USA cab to Exotica
---------------------------------
Assuming I can get the Exotica PCB working,
I still need a few critical parts to convert the USA cab.
Namely the new/updated chip for the driver board.
Ideally , I should have jumped on this..., but missed the auction...

I assume using an Exotica driver board would also work.
Any leads on that would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steph
