Ok this is my first ever cab that I bought from the thrift store and i only know about 3 days worth of reading on the net and forums.
I got a decent looking ikari cab, but the power cord was shot to hell, so i wired up another power cord and turned it on. It came on and worked but then gave me a rom1 error.
I took the pcb out and tried to look for loose chips, i tried to pull one out and ended up breaking 3 legs.
I tried to just plug it back in with the 3 legs broken, but all i got was white screen on power up. it would start out black and then get slowly bright white.
so i went to radio shack and got a blank rom chip, cut the legs off of that and soldered them onto my broken ikari rom chip.
I plugged the repaired legs chip back in, and now when i turn it on I get a ON black screen with horizontal lines that run up and down, kind of like when a tv is on the wrong channel for a nintendo or older game system.
What the hell did I do?
