I have a Truxton II board that's exhibiting graphics glitches and constant sprite flickering.
I booted it up in test mode and the RAM and ROM checks look good. No visible damage on the board but there's evidence that the chip at position U30 was previously soldered.
Packaging on the board was very thin so I wonder if there's something that could have been damaged during shipping that might not be immediately evident from a visual inspection. I heard the hk-1000 chip is fragile and prone to issues but as I understand it that seems to mostly deal with input logic, and it doesn't obviously seem like it would be related to this.
Any thoughts on what could potentially cause this type of issue or what else I should check?
