I bought a KI2 dedicated PCB with a DOM mod from a forum member. Worked great for months.

A couple weeks ago, it stopped working. It boots, and the demo plays fine. But when I start a fight, the fight intro is choppy, then halts, culminating in a blue fill and a reboot. A disk check said 126 errors.

Today, a new 44-pin 512MB DOM and pin adapter came in, so I replaced the DOM. I managed to finish one fight without incident (Sabrewulf noob combos FTW), but otherwise, the in-game behavior is the same. The disk check now always aborts partway through. I see on solid-orange that the blue fill and reboot is consistent with a disk issue. (Though I see the symptom for a RAM error is only subtly different.)

Got suggestions for what I should try next? Are there any usual suspects I should check out, or do I just need to follow traces and try to find a cold solder joint somewhere?
