Solved: Faulty Progear board

[korpskytten]

I sold a Progear board, fully working on battery. The buyer could not get it to work, dark screen, white screen etc. He said he tried in three different cabs. Then he did the eprom Razoola suicide test with the result of scrambled text!? Anyone know what could be the problem?

The suicide test rom only fully functions on a completely suicided board. If any voltage or keys are left I would expect something like this to happen.

It does sound like the battery might have been low or died... It's not in a battery holder is it?

No, newly soldered battery.

Solved. The board had somehow got suicided but is now revived. Scrambled text was due to missing font.
