Hello people wiser than me ;
I installed a multi kit into a v4 CPS2 board last night with zero problems.
Today I install a second multikit into my own v4 CPS2 board and have experienced some problems.
Naturally I have checked the usual - all pins have good contact (by eye), CN5 has been shorted, 4 key writing lines have good contact at both ends (used flux and cleaned up afterwards with electronics solvent), tried various known working SD cards (sandisk ultra and Kingston), PAL-G supplied by saveyourgames.it.
So I get a pink or red or coloured screen. The LCD shows writing key, then lists the games. I try and load a game, it only shows me one star "*" then writes the key. The game is not properly writing to the memory on the multi.
The very first boot of the multi, I used a known good SD (used last night on the working install) and it said SD card missing. I only have one light on the multi, the power light, no second light.
Each time I try and load a game, it only shows one star "*" then programs key, then boots to coloured screen.
Same with decrypted set. This will be my 5th CPS2 multi install, so I am not brand new to this.
Any advice would be appreciated
edit: the LCD has also reported an error after trying to load a game.
edit:
@xodaraP thanks but no bridge, very decent solders. the second LED not being lit i think is an indication of something much worse
edit: The second LED, next to the FPGA, flashes very fast once when the unit is powered, but stays off.
edit: always now when powered up it just says init lcd and nothing else. trying 3 diff SD which work fine on other multi kit.
