FS Sega Planet Harriers board set

[CoolFox]

Not really in a rush to sell this cause it's always nice to have a few backups All glue mods have been done to the board and the board works great.

Note: I WILL SHIP THIS and it will be packaged extremely well (all of my Hikaru boards that I have shipped have made it), but I take no fault if it dies in shipping. Pick up is of course welcome as well.

Looking for $500 + ship.

man I've bought 3 Hikarus, all 3 were working before shipping and 2 of them had the glue mod and all 3 arrived with floating CPUs

Ouch!!!! Ken doesnt repair these anymore. He said its just not cost effective to repair these any longer because of the equipment needed and time involved.

It also depends on how you ship it.

I'm guessing the problem with these is the weight of the heatsinks pulling the chips off the board?

that combined with the fact that they didn't properly solder the chips to the mobo in the first place, so the connection is very weak and prone to separation.

had they properly prepped/solder the chips it wouldn't be an issue, but the fact that the heat syncs are simply glued to the top of the chips and not mechanically attached to the mobo exacerbates it.

Yep. The chips were not tinned by the manufacturer so Sega just attached them to the pcb using a reflow sequence. Bottom line the solder sticks to the pcb but not to the chip itself.

Thanks for the info @twistedsymphony and @Mitsurugi-w. Sorry for the derail @CoolFox but consider it a free bump!
