I picked up an original DK last summer which after a few months I decided I wanted to get the D2K complete kit to install. Then right about the same time I was getting the kit in the mail, there was a D2K that popped up on CL which I worked a trade and got it - it has all new D2K artwork (PCB is the 2 board version) except the sides which are original DK. So I left the D2K kit in the box thinking no rush, get to it when I have time...
Well, Just last night I finally got around to trying to install the $79 arcadeshop.com Braze D2K complete kit (w/HSS) and as a result I seem to have created some issues, here is what I have going on:
1. The DK was all in good working order before I installed the kit.
2. I followed the directions on the web site http://www.arcadeshop.com/konghs_dk2/konghighscorekitinstallation.htm
3. My board set looks a little different (see pic 1) then on the website, but should still be ok.
4. DK boardset is the 4pc version and the 40 pin Z80 chip is socket style (see pic 2).
5. One of the legs bent on the 40 pin Z80 chip when I tried to install into the D2K daughter board. I straightened it back out (could not see any physical damage) and re-installed.
6. There is a cap that sticks out to the left of the socket (see pic 2) that barely clears the daughter board.
7. The D2K daughter board is installed as far as it can go (see pic 3).
8. When I turned it on, the first thing I noticed there was not the menu that is supposed to start, it just starts up like the original DK.
9. Then I noticed that the only sounds I have are DK jumping, Mario moving and jumping. Not "how high can you get" music, no hammer sounds, etc.
10. I unlugged the D2K board and reset the Z80 chip back the original setup. Now it also has the same sound issues. I saw another thread someone mentioned the 8035 chip at 7H might be failing, but did not see a response if that fixed it or not.
So now I'm left trying to figure some stuff out and need some input:
Any Suggestions to fix the sound problem?
Is there something I might have missed on the settings for the D2K to actually work?
Did I mess up the Z80 chip, if yes what can I do to fix/replace it?
Anyone else set their D2K in a board like mine - how they get it working?
Thanks in advance for your insight.....
