Today I decided to take the plunge and attempt some basic repairs. The tools i have and my skill set is still in its early stages - limited to spotting the most obvious faults, but it's all about learning right?
First up:
Crude Busters
Fires up OK, but won't coin up
Examining the board there's some missing parts - NF2, 3, 4 & 5, now to source the parts
Second:
Ares no tsubasa
Boots to a static screen
Checked on the board and we're missing a capacitor at C10, replaced and still the board doesn't fire up.
Increased voltage and guess what, it fires up, probably was this easy all along!
Lastly:
Dragon Ninja
And this is where i need some help
Boots to white vertical line, looks like there activity behind the white lines
Visually checked the board for damage - non apparent, pulled everything that's socketed cleaned and re-seated, still same fault, where do i go from here, all help appreciated.
