So my Altered Beast Cab no longer wants to hold high scores or bookkeeping records. I always believed this to be a cap problem, but here is where my issue lies.
1) Is the cap(s) for this on the boards itself? I have no schematics to identify my board, and all caps visually look fine.
2) Incidentally I noticed in my search that some caps in the power supply look like they are in need of replacement. Are the caps which hold highscore/bookkeeping info in the power supply??
3) I have 3 pics of my Peter Chou. 2 pics are the same caps from diff angles and are 200v 100mf you can see the wrap on one of them is shriviling. The substance you see on the suspect cap is hard and looks to be glue, not electrolytic fluid. Then there is 1 pic which shows a cap that is shriveled on one side, and has no markings except that it's on a L3 plug in spot. It almost looks bootleg.
Do these look like culprits, or are they just an incidental find?
