I'm scared...720 voltage issue, but a generic question.
So, a few months ago when I got a few new games up and running, I noticed that my 720 started displaying garbage. It would randomly credit up and then sometimes freeze. Well, since I was adding games, I figured it was a slight drop in voltage. I checked my +5V and it was reading about 4.83V so I turned up my switcher a bit and got my boards reading about 5.04V and everything's been fine.
Recently, I was having a voltage issue with my Star Wars and 720 was getting flaky again as well. I thought it was a circuit issue and dropped a new 20amp line. However, it got me to thinking about my 720, and the fact that I never really tested my switcher when I cranked that voltage up...stupid me, I know. Well, I got back there tonight and my boards were reading a little under 5V again, but the switcher was putting out about 5.4V...eek! I remember when got this game that there were a few burnt connectors with a bad crystal that got repaired and everything's been fine since. I tested the wiring harnesses and the voltage drop isn't there as they were putting out 5.38 and 5.39V. So...any thoughts? Thanks.
