Maybe someone can help.
My MK came with a pull out drawer in front that holds the PCB and power supply etc,.
when i got it,.the machine worked,.but i couldnt open the drawer,.because nothing was bolted down,.everything in the draweer was loose and caught up on stuff,.if i tried opening the door when the game was on,.it would get staticy...and mess up the game pic.
I turned it off,.opened the drawer carefully,.bolted down the PS,.took out trash and newspaper,.
noticed bad bad leakage on the board,.
when i put it all back,.and turned it on,.i had wierd garbled stuff,.then the test mode came on (which it always did at startup) but instead of flying thru its test mode,.finding no problems,.NOW it detects bad roms.
Instead if my test screen filled with green pass bars,.i have red fail rom bars.
what happened? was the board already bad,.but playing? and when i wiggled things,.the PC realized there was damage?
Now,.the game plays still. I dont know what exactly this means. Will it just not save scores?
What does the bad ROMS mean?
Sonce i had the machine,.the pic has always been a little dull and grey,. after this happened,.my screen was now very colorful,.really red. At first i thought it was bad, but upon playing it,.it seems right? Like those colors were MISSING until now.
So i turned it off. waited a min, and turned it back on.
Same test screen showing failed ROMS,.same wierd shit,.but the Game comes on and plays,.and those pretty colors are gone,.back to the original dull greyish screen.
Like i said,.it plays and has sound,.but the colors are in and out and i have failed ROMS.
if i know nothing about fixing,.where does this leave me? replace board,.or wait until i see something wrong??
i appreciate your help.
