I just went and picked up a gyruss.
When I picked it up it had a yellow screen.
The guy said it works some times, sometimes it doesn't.
It is in my truck still so I have done nothing to look at it.

I will check her out later, but does this sound like a voltage issue possibly?

premature for this thread until I do something I guess.
 
If its hanging during bootup it could display some mustard yellow color garbage blocks. Get a screenshot, lets see what you got.
 
ok so I pull the game out of my truck, quick inspection in back and unplug the board and turn her on.
same yellow screen.

I start testing voltages on the power supply and I am getting ZERO.
On everything.

This would be absolutely sweet, if it's just a blown, or mis adjusted power supply.

The screen looked exactly the same with the board unplugged as it did with the board plugged into the wiring harness at this guys house.

power supply huh?

edit: ps, I do have a brand new power supply I can throw in there to test, well after I try hitting the adjustment pot first I guess, it's just too late tonite for me to dive into that.
 
for all of those interested parties (riptor, lol)

I changed the power supply and I am GOLDEN!

Gyruss is in full effect.
Needs a cap kit, kind of. slight color bleeding.
but i have extra k4900 chassis already capped and extra cap kits
so I am rolling.

sweet pick up.
 
Awesome! If you start to have lots of problems repin the edge connector. My Gyruss has issues with the edge connector, one of these days I will spend the time to repin it :)

I have found that if your having edge connector problems the main cause is the power plug going from the top board to the bottom is not making good contact and increases the load on the edge connector.
