Hi everyone,
I was asked to repair a box full of 4 slot MVS boards by an operator friend.
I pulled the first one out today and decided to start a log as I go and hopefully get at least a couple of these up and running (some are believed to be beyond repair but will be good for parts supply!)
Board 1 Fault: Video RAM Error - In progress
Board 2 Fault: Video RAM Error - Repaired!
Board 3 Fault: Fast Video Ram (8000 region) error - Repaired!
Board 4 Fault: Crosshatch of death - Repaired!
Board 5 Fault: Click of death - Repaired!
Board 6 Fault: Major corrosion. Both top and bottom boards beyond repair
Board 7 Fault: Major corrosion. Both top and bottom boards beyond repair.
Standard upgrades/cleaning for all boards:
- Batteries removed and coin cell holder installed
- Battery area scrubbed clean to remove any previous acid leakage
- Rechargeable CR2032 installed
- Board cleaned using Simple Green
- Flux residue cleaned using isopropyl alcohol
- Cart slots cleaned with isopropyl alcohol
