I bought a non-working MV1FS from Bill Berger (I was fully aware it has no video). But that's all I know at the moment. It's coming in the mail soon, and I'd like to find out what kinds of things to look out for with non-working boards to see if I can bring it back from the dead.
I bought it as a project. I am an amateur solderer, and just want to learn. It was $40 so if I never get it working, I'm only out $40. But if I can get it working, maybe I can learn to consolize it down the line, I dunno. I dont have it yet, should be here this week I believe. But I just wanna get a jump on trying to figure out what might be wrong with it and maybe get it running.
UPDATED: Got the board today and to my surprise it booted right up without any video issues. I think Bill must have been mistaken, because the issue is no sound, which I would possibly bet that its a simple(r) fix. Any ideas on this? I can take some pics of the board if need be, but at least on a cursory inspection, it looks like its all ok.
