I recently picked up a Robotron and have had several issues since I moved it into my house. The first night I turned it on and it played fine for about 20 minutes then it froze. After a reset it came up with RAM error 31(the sequence on the board was 1-3-1 and verified it through the system test), and I cycled the power a few times, reseated the RAM in row 3 position 1 and eventually grabbed a spare 4116 RAM out of my kit and the same error came up.
I suspected a power supply board was causing all the trouble. I knew that the one that came with the game had an issue and I thought I had a good one(bought it as working) but I am not sure it's good now. I have the switcher(kit installed) but the game has been giving me the same error with the switching ps and some other inconsistent behaviors that make me think it's a power brick issue. I hope it's not a bad RAM socket in the board. I am pretty sure it's not.
Any ideas what I should do next? This one has me stumped…
I am thinking I have a power brick, power supply board or wiring harness issue that I cant detect?
If I can get a list of Williams power supply board parts, instructions and an estimation on level of difficulty(my skills pretty much end at cap kits and basic stuff) I might be able to fix it and that would eliminate one variable. I am not sure where to begin with the power issues though.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
