Hello all,
I have a friend who just picked sweet dedicated Naomi cabinet at auction. It looked to be completely working. But when he got it home, it had no controls whatsoever. You couldn't even coin up a credit. From what he has read, this is often indicative of a bad IO board. When he got into the CP, he found a spare IO board as well. I kind of figured that someone bought an IO Board to fix the problem and it didn't so they just kept the other in as a spare and sold the game cause they couldn't fix it. So here are my questions.
1. How common is this boards failure in a Naomi system.
2. Is there another failure that could cause this (I kind of thought it might be broken solder joints or a faulty USB at the USB connector.)
3. Does anyone sell or repair these IO boards.
4. Is there a good way to test these board.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
