Triforce type 1 media board not working

[nipple]

Hey guys,

I finally got my Triforce that buyee decided they wouldn’t ship, but that’s another story.

I’ve powered it on and the picture was terrible all colours weird , but I got it sort of going after much trial and error. I had it netbook Mario kart and it would get to the splash screen, then lose sync as I think it was trying to display 31hz game mode on my ms9, which can only display 15hz. Which I have the Triforce set too.

I did some reading on here and found the recommendations to recap the media board. Which I have done, being the lowest board in the stack.

But since I have recapped it, the media board is no longer found, it just says “no communication” on the media board test screen.

A plus side the picture is amazing now!

I have tried a few known working net dimm in it and they all show the same fault.

Anyone got any tips. I have checked my caps are the right way around and my soldering looks ok.

The board is a total head case to remove and reinstall, but I think I was careful with all the ribbon cables and connectors. Everything seems seated correctly.

Cheers

Great success!!

So I had some time today, and thought I would try the Triforce again and. Whilst looking at the case didn’t seem square where the net dimm sits. So I took the little top frame off and replaced the net dimm it felt so much better when it clicked down.

Powered on and away we went, Mario kart here I come.

So to conclude recapping the base board solved my problems.
