I hava a Millipede that I'm trying to get working and a Galaga that was working and now giving me trouble.
The Millipede will reset within a few seconds of starting a game, every time. I replaced the Big Blue cap, all voltages are good (checked at the PCB) so I'm not sure what else may be wrong.. I'm still pretty knew to diagnosing board problems.
Galaga was working fine until the other day when it gave me a "RAM 2L" error. I was told it's not the 2L RAM that's the issue and what I've tried so far were voltage checks (a-ok) and re-seat / clean a bunch of socketed chips, and cleaned the edge connector (board side), not sure of the safest way to clean the harness connector pins though. What else could I try? Galaga also has a problem where it keeps itself in a reboot loop when I switch it to free play with with dip switches.. Any thoughts on that one?
