Well, here it goes, I hope someone can shed some light on what the problem may be....
I had a totally working MK4 PCB that had problems with the color red installed in a Z-cab, everything worked fine and the gameplay was great.. except the reds weren't there...
So I developed a liking for the game (damn it!, lol) and decided to purchase a 100% working PCB from a forum member, and upon getting it I installed it in my Z-cab.. It worked great for about 20 minutes, or until it got warmed up, then it started randomly resetting, I could sometimes get into gameplay and then it would reset within the first fight or two.. eventually getting to where it would reset to the point of just seeing the test screen, then it would loop into reset.. test screen, everything green, then reset when it was supposed to move on to the opening screen. Ugh. Ok, I thought I had a bad PCB, so I pulled it and put my old PCB back in the game.. and guess what.. did the same thing now with that PCB!!
So, thinking it may be a power supply issue, I changed out the power supply and checked everything out, and the power to the board looks good (both boards). I figured I had something else going on, so the machine was gone through and I can't find any other problems.
Well I just got a new MK4 cab with an MK2 board, and the MK2 board runs like a champ, and everything works great... so I plug my MK4 board in (the new one) and it starts up cold pretty good, but once warmed up it goes into a reset loop again.
Does anyone have any ideas what steps I should take next? Did this one board somehow create problems for my second board?? I know, wtf am I talking about, but hey, the started doing the same problem once I replaced my working board with the second "fully working" board. I don't know what else to think.
Any help or ideas would be great! Or should I find a place to send my PCB to for repair, and if so, where's a good, reputable place to send it?
Thanks in advance for any help....
