TL;DR version - Anyone know what part FB1 on a CPS1 board is?
Hi all, pretty new to arcade fixes and game preservation in general. I bought a Street Fighter 2: World Warrior board a few months back that suffered from graphical glitching, but didn't match the usual descriptions of arcade repair logs I'd read about jailbars, missing colors, bad sprite ROMs, etc.
I noticed that the problem was intermittent, tapping the board would sometimes make it go away, but this gave diminishing returns. Eventually, I found that flexing the board would fix the problem. My hypothesis at this point was one of:
1) Loose solder joint
2) Bad discrete component
3) Bad trace/CPU connection
Hoping it wasn't 3, I tested every chip I could find for continuity with no luck. Earlier today, just by flexing different parts of the board, I narrowed it down to one component, which it seemed by wiggling, I could fix the issue entirely. Unfortunately, in the course of finding a position that worked, I snapped the component off the board, whoops!
I wanted to try replacing it, but I want to make sure what part and value I should use. The symbol looks like an inductor, right?
