Hi friend, i can repair the pcb but i'm from México.¿Algún buen reparador en Europa con esta CPU dispuesta a reemplazarla? Hace mucho calor, ya verifiqué todos los contactos, y no es un lío
Please let me know if You interested
Do you have one pcb dead to sale?
oh yeah I'm sure I have that CF packed somewhere. but now I have a bigger one! LOL this was a surgery that I long wondered how it would work out. I'm just glad I didn't break any CPU legs when it fell last week.
Hi @nekuHello guys,
The PCBs finally arrived today, i still have to solder the connectors and sockets, but here's a quick look of it !
Sadly, i won't have time this week-end to test it
Yes, i will release once ready all the files (schematics, gerber and BOM) needed to be able to make the PCBs.
Regards
Did you manage to test the boards with the multi? Thanks
Hi,
Not yet, i am busy with the renovation of the house, all my soldering tools are in my garage as well as my motherboards.
I have started to gather all the tools needed together hope to find some times to work on it in the next weeks.

Aww man, I am ready to have some dual KI action in my cab!
Can’t wait either… my k1 pcb is waiting also nervously! Looks great!It fits nicely in place without touching anything underneath.
Last checks before takeoff ... I am nervous !

Guys, I have 2 boards from a friend, who sent them to Ken @ IRepairSega, which sent it back and said "can't be repaired".
now if Ken says that, I am guessing he is right and I shouldn't even try right?

Stunning work, looking really good @neku
If this kit offers what I need, I'll toss my KI2 up for sale.
Both my boards have been reworked, one with a new proc from Ken a year or so ago. I was told by him, I might have gotten the last newish processor in the land.
There's not many parts left for repairing these boards.

I haven't tried this BUT whoever is running things there claims they worked at Midway, this may be a chance here.
I thought Ken only worked on Sega boards.
Ken worked at Sega and knows Sega boards, but he also knows basic electronic repair and can and will do things like replacing a CPU chip
it depends WHY, if he determined the CPU is bad and doesn't have a replacement then someone with a CPU could fix it (or if you sourced one Ken could fix it)
but if it's bad because CPU pin traces got ripped off the board, then it might be really ugly to fix or near impossible to fix.
Part of what makes Ken so well regarded is that he stands behind his work, and his work stands the test of time. So a lot of times when the only fix is an ugly and fragile fix he'll say no. Doesn't mean it can't be done, it just means he's not willing to risk his reputation on the fix holding up.
