So I was cleaning out my Donkey Kong Junior this evening and noticed something not so good in the area of the sound amp. A part labeled "V630 Sanyo" is melting/corroding/? on the "Control Unit" below it (the one with the Bright, V-Center, V-Hold, etc).
I have attached some pics to this post, so please refer to those. I have a few questions.
1. Is the game "safe" to play as is? I'm guessing not, as I don't want any more damage done.
2. What could be causing the problem? Is "V630 Sanyo" just old and need replacing?
3. Where can I obtain a new "V630 Sanyo"? Anybody have one of these bad boys lying around? I'll be your best friend forever.
4. How do I remove "V630 Sanyo"? It's soldered in place. Can I snip the wires? And if I do remove "V630 Sanyo" is the game safe to play?
Thanks in advance for any information. The game has had nearly non-existent sound since I've had it and I've been under the impression I need to do an audio cap kit. Perhaps not.
