I've been having some pretty bad luck lately with boards i've bought. The most recent is this WWF WrestleMania i picked up, it works but unfortunately it has a U14 Ram error which causes graphical glitches and bars.
There is no real visible damage at all, and the onlything i've been able to see is in certain light (especially with camera flash you can see a line across the traces around the ram chips on the solder side)
Once i saw this line i decided to beep test the traces it went across and found none with breaks. I also made sure to press down on the chip with the game running and while it was doing a boot test to see if possibly it was a bad solder point.
Now i don't really see myself being able to replace this myself but if easy enough i might just try.
Does anyone have any hints or idea's of what i should try next, maybe someone know's how i could go about removing and resoldering that ram chip in. looks like the tc528128bj-80 is available online. If it didn't cost an arm and a leg i'd also entertain sending it out to have done if anyone is up for the task or knows someplace qualified and willing to do the job.
I've checked the solder legs for touching points/traces and the voltage to this machine is good so those aren't an issue here.
Man i was really excited to play this game in all it's glory, i'm not a big wrestling fan but i've heard lots of good things about this game.
