Multi-board PCB problem isolation? (Gorf and many others)
When you have a PCB set like Gorf, which has 6 separate boards (and the cage itself) that make up the boardset, how do you go about problem isolation if you don't have a known good boardset to be able to test and swap boards with? Anyone have any general guidelines?
I find myself with several Gorf boardsets and none work. I'm sure between all the sets I can put together at least one good set, but how can I get an indication of what board is good and what one isn't?
If I had a good set, it's be easy to swap out untested boards one by one, but I haven't found one in the Chicago area. hint-hint, anyone have a known good Gorf boardset in the Chicago area that I can borrow for a couple of weeks?
