NAOMI WSB '01 GD-ROM Error 22 -- how do YOU handle this?
this particularly goes out to the channelmanics (or channelmaniacs, was that a typo on KLOV or what?) out there
World Series Baseball '01 GD-ROM started with the Error 22 shit on and off until this week, it happened to do it every day upon initial power up. this is the evil "COMMUNICATION ERROR OCCURRED BETWEEN MAIN BOARD AND OPTION BOARD." error.
after tinkering with the SCSI cable, a reboot would normally make it work.
the direction that most everyone is hinting at on various message boards is that the DIMM board may have failed. so, here's a checklist of things I've attempted already:
power supply voltages: were 5.12 and 3.45 (!!) -- now set to 5.10 and 3.30
cleansing: it needed it. I stripped down every component, including the GD-ROM drive, and blasted the nasty black dirt out. so, we're clean. I even wiped down the mounting board. the GD-ROM disc was cleaned as well.
connections: all cabling was fine. I swapped the SCSI cable from our working Virtua Tennis and same Error 22 came up.
seating: I pulled the DIMM board, disassembled it, reseated the communication board (I'm assuming that's what it's called, with the SCSI connector) and reseated the boot rom. the DIMM board was reinserted firmly into the main board and screws tightened again.
main board: I switched the DIMM board over to a NAOMI 2 board I had laying around (goes well together with everything being the same color
) and the same thing happened.
I'm at a loss for what else to try, next to pulling the DIMM board from Tennis to verify if it's a main board issue or the DIMM board... but then again, Tennis drew the same error from time to time, and I don't need 2 dead games.
