Graphical Problems on Sega Hikaru from Brave Fire Fighters, Please Help
I recently received a Sega Hikaru board with Brave Firefighters. It has some graphical glitches in the Sega and Insert Coin text and then the first scene of the intro it freezes but the audio keeps going. (Picture Hikaru4)
I put the rom board on the Hikaru board from my Planet Harriers set and it has none of these problems so that leads me to believe the system board is the one at fault.
The chips on the BFF system board do not have as much hot glue around them as the ones around the chips on the PH system board but that's the only visual difference I can see between them.
Does anyone know what could cause these problems? I have included a few pictures below showing exactly what the Brave FireFighters game does when it is plugged into its original system board.
Is it possible to replace the thermal compound on the Heat Syncs of this board without breaking the chips, as I know they are quite delicate. I know I have had computer and ps3 systems that had glitches like this and rethermaling them fixed it.
