Does anyone repair Sprint 2 boards besides Elektron Forge? I've had my Sprint 2 board out for repair a total of 5 months out of the past 8 and it's had to go back once. I got it back today and it worked for about 10 minutes which is 10 more than it worked the first time.

The amount of time and shipping cost back and forth is getting frustrating........... - Barry

I have 2 boards myself that need repair. Let me know what you find out.

Not trying to insult your intelligence whatsoever Barry, just trying to help here. Are you sure the rest of the components are 100% working? Like the power supply, is it putting out the right voltage? The reason I ask is I had a similar problem with my Gun Fight. Got the boards back from Alex, and they didn't work. The power supply had been repaired beforehand and was supposed to be ready to go. But in the end the +5v was too low, affecting the whole damn thing.....

Believe me I thought it was a cab problem but it's not. The power supply is on the board (other than the transformer). I have 2 other Sprint boards here that have issues but are playable in the cab they just aren't mine.

What's weird is I was able to play a couple games and after is sat idle for a few minutes it went crazy. I reseated the edge connector and the same. I then installed another board and it worked as well as it used to.

Hoping to find someone who can fix them. BTW I'm not knocking Alex at all because I know he does good work, I just would like it to work. - Barry

Also he did replace parts both times so he did find problems with the board each time it was there.

Right on. Man, that's weird. And I see how it can be frustrating as hell. I hope you can get them fixed! I wish I had a Sprint 2.....
