Hi,
I have quite big headaches about proper PCB handling.
Please, can you give some general advices for this topic?
a) how to hold the PCB in your hands properly? I think, that the best way is to hold it in both hands by the external board edges, is that right?
b) When you want to inspect the bottom (solder) side of PCB, how you do it without laying it down to the bulking out components parts? Do you use some PCB holder to reverse and inspect it?
c) if you have a game with 2 (or more) boards, does it not bend over itself only by its weight by some time?.
Are the game boards (material) itself quite firm? Do you not break off a piece of the board with "normal" handling? Its terrible to hear how it creaks and bends a bit when you hold it firmly and connect the harness.
d) is the frequent (lets say 3 times a week) JAMMA harness connection/disconnection (because of PCB exchange) a problem? Does not cause the connector damage (rub off) soon?
Thanks very much for any reply.
