Just not one of my days today... I had 3 boards to get going today... None are any better than they were this morning.
Shinobi, still missing sounds and music...
Super Burger Time... still missing all sounds...
Hypersports, STILL resetting... that's AFTER I found a broken leg on 1 EPROM... fixed it, still resetting. Found 2 different EPROMs that were corrupt... cleared them, reflashed them... STILL resetting... cleaned the edge connector, reflowed all pins on all socketed chips, reflowed all pins on the connectors, prayed, sacraficed a goat... still resetting.
This is 2 days after I repaired a Gyruss, PacPlus, Tron, Defender, Bad Dudes (monitor), and I can't remember what else... all in a few hours. I've been at these 3 boards since 12PM today... it's almost 11 hours later... and they're still not any better than they were. The only machine that's better off today than it was this morning is BlazBlue and that was just reseating the RAM... and that wasn't even on the official "list"!
I guess there are good days, and bad days... this was a bad day to say the least.
I just hope the next repair day is better... I can't afford to many more of these days. It makes me look bad!
At least today I didn't have a flyback explode on me (WG4900 in Gyruss bit the dust)... smoked up the entire storage room and paniced the hell out of mall security (the storage room is a vacant shop, big display windows and everything). lol That room STILL smells like burned electronics... But, the boards still worked (played blind) so still count that as a victory.
I've gotta get out of here (still at the mall)... I'm getting no where with these boards and, frankly, they're REALLY starting to piss me off.
