So I got a DK today.. The 2 board set wont boot.
It has power but it immediatly goes into a scrambled
text/symbols screen on power up. It makes brief sound
before the screen freezes with the text/symbols.

Who works on these boards? I see a board swap service
from Mikes arcade but I'd prefer to have someone fix this
board.

Any one know a source for a replacement wiring
harness? The one in there is hacked beyond belief.
Its a real mess.

The Wiring Harness being hacked as you say can cause boards too not work right.

I Belive Dave is doing a Third Dk Harness Run. But i don'nt have a clue when that is. He just moved so having too get everything in Place again!
 
The only reason I think the board is I went over every connection
and as hacked up as it is.. they seem solid. Plus it sat in a basement
for years and just stopped working a few weeks ago. The wiring in
the cab has been this way for a long time.

I will definitely PM dokert and see if he has a Harness.

I am dealing with a two board DK set with the same problem. Try reseating the Z80 chip. This has fixed the board for me for about a week at a time. The socket on this board set is completely worn out and the play the machine gets (it is on route) works the processor loose. I intend to replace the socket next time I get out to the location...
 
I have experienced this on my 4 board set and it's the power connector on one of the boards.

The next run of DK series harnesses should start in Nov, but we'll see. - Barry
