This is my Mothers Day Omega Race. Monitor is good, confirmed working via Asteroids Deluxe. I had some minor acid damage on the PCB. No traces were damaged, nothing on the back of the board. Cleaned up all acid, vinegar bath etc.. 5 components and a socket to be replaced.
So I got my parts from Digi-Key yesterday. Popluated the PCB, checked all traces, and reinstalled. Powered up and lo and behold, attract mode! Went to plug the CP back in to play a game, and the screen blanked out and the spot killer came on
Power cycled and I was greeted with just an "o" in the lower corner of the screen. Seems as if the game starts to run, but freezes up now after maybe 1 second.
Voltages on the boards are good, connections seem sound. RAM has been replaced with 9114's
Any ideas on what may be happening?
And here is a pic after removing components and cleaning up board. Wire wheel on dremel, vinegar wash, rinse and dry.
