Anyone parting out a Star Wars racer arcade? I believe that I need the working main cpu to bring our game back to life. It appears that it is not sending video signal to the monitor.
Any hikaru game would do as there may be some spare boards out there. The roms are interchangable meaning you can replace the cpu board. Oh...and don't forget shipping as these boards are difficult to ship.
How bad is the cpu board? My prediction is the bga weld on one of the three custom ics. Hope repair is possible.
Yeah, those things suck to ship... And doesn't come up for sale often... If I remember correctly, the last working board went for $400ish on EBay... The only guy I know of that could fix this board is the Irepairsega Gentleman... He did some magic for me in the past. It'll be a lot cheaper than find a replacement imo. Might be worth looking into
That name is mentioned a lot when it came to hikaru repairing but he stopped because of how much of a pain it can be. Someone else may be working on fixing these boards but idk.
I do know of a preventative solution for these heatsinks to stay in place but idk if it works well.
I hope the original poster knew of how rare these hikaru based cabs will get because asking if anyone is parting out a hikaru game is a bit absurd imo.
