So I have a Spy Hunter not starting up at the moment at the museum exhibit. I was going to drive down there anyway today... It's a little bit of a drive so I thought I'd ask about it here before I drove down.
It wasn't saving scores and a tech installed an NVRAM at G5 but w/o the 10k resistor and it still wasn't saving scores so I thought I'd fix the resistor issue... It's been that way or a week or two.
In any case, now I just received word that it won't boot up at all, and is showing a RAM error...
VR - B1 or 81... (see photos). If the NVRAM w/o resistor got corrupted, might this cause this problem? I'm guessing that is unlikely but I thought I'd ask.
Also... is this B1 or 81 on the middle board also? or the top board? And is it just another 6116-4? Likely soldered or socketed?
I can also borrow a Spy Hunter pcb stack from someone local that works but has sound issues. If the sound issues are on the top board, and my issues today on the middle board, maybe I could swap out the middle board if the error message turns out to be related to a larger problem.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
