i'm trying to figure out why my bubble bobble bootleg pcb is not working, and i noticed that when checking for continuity pin to pin on the ribbon cable that connects the two pcbs boards together, continuity testing from the solder point on the board, with the ribbon cable connected to the co-responding solder point on the other board. that they all are connected except some pins seem to be getting continuity to several other points on the other side (suggesting a short somewhere?) I've swapped on the ribbon cable for others that i have and its the same. Do these plastic connectors that the ribbon cable goes into go bad/faulty? Is it supposed to do this?
i've cleaned the pins, used other ribbon cables, still one pin is getting continuity to at least 8 or 9 pins on the other side. I traded two no-working boards for this one, supposed to be working board from another member on this site, and it has never worked, and of course he is not responding to my messages, please help!
