Turbo Outrun pcb - graphics glitch
I have a turbo outrun pcb that I swapped into my Outrun on occasion, but it's always had a graphics glitch with some of the text colors. So this morning I decide I'm going to see if reseating chips would help. Put the board back in the cab and....black and white static on the screen, no sound, not coining up, nothing.
I make sure the two boards are connected together securely and try again. Same thing. When looking over the board I notice that there is a cap missing on the top board. It's the one I've circled in red in the attached pic.
Now, I'm not sure if that cap was always missing, or if it somehow snapped off when I was reseating the chips. Could that missing cap be causing the problems, or would that not kill the board like that?
Final note - I don't believe it to be related to the suicide battery, as I have a new segaresurrection.com battery installed on the board.
