@@lukemorse1 it was just a soccer game (Tecmo World Cup) - i know you're not into sports games, but i like it, haha. It was showing a picture but had no sound. I took a really good look around and pressed on the chips to see if it made a difference - and I found a small green thing (like a flat square capacitor?) was wobbling when you touch it, because one of the legs had broken and wasn't making any contact with the board. So i put a blob of solder on that. Another couple of bits looked sketchy so I resoldered them as well. And whatever it was, the sound now works! Thank you for showing us that sometimes you just need to give the board a really good look and you might find something!

Good old Arkanoid. I used to play it on the NES using the Arkanoid Controller. Arkanoid Return Of Doh was released for Famincon and it also has a Arkanoid Controller yes you can play it with a normal Controller but with Arkanoid Controller makes a lot easier to play. By the way at 25:22 to tell you right away Arkanoid requires a paddle to play if you notice any of the Arkanoid arcade cabinets all they use paddles so that's why it doesn't move with the joystick so you have to someway to make a Controller paddle to play the game just to heads up.

You won't be able to control this game without a spinner (an optical spinner, if I'm not mistaken). Exactly how you need to wire one up to one of these, though, I don't really know. Maybe it's through the left/right inputs on the JAMMA edge (something I should look into as well as I'm sitting on two Arkanoid Revenge of Doh boards, one of which has graphical errors that I can't identify the cause)?

This game plays with a spinner. You're a pro. I'm an amateur. I would first: 1 put the voltage to 5.0 2 mark where that pot is and rotate it to see if that does anything 3 checkk that connector that apparantly dridges 2 pairs of pins 4 make sure the dip switches are correct 5 see if all ic's, chips are seated properly in the sockets by pressing down on each one 6 see if slightly bending the pcb does anything 7 clean the pcb 8 compare the board for missing parts with other pcb pictures online 9 google for known issue with this pcb type Great to see a pro in action!
@lukemorse1
2 жыл бұрын
Nah, I wouldnt say Im and pro and I definitely wouldnt say you are an Amature. I would say there are a lot of different ways of tackling the board and some use what they have learned from other repairs but there are multiple possibilities. Most boards will run with anywhere from 4.75 to 5v unless they are some power hungry ones like the IT or Midway ones. The Pot on the board is for volume :) The pin that bridges the two pins is for audio/stereo. Checking the dip switches is good and especially usually switches 1, 8, or the first and last ones on a pcb which can be for freeze screen. Checking all the chips for seating is a good idea. Taking them out and cleaning/inspecting them for bent legs is also recommended. Flexing the PCB is a good way to check for some issues, usually works best with surface mounted qfp's. Cleaning the pcb is a good idea for sure. Looking online is a great way to compare what chips may be missing and I do this as well. Googling is a good way to find common problems and fixes I agree but sometimes the information is quite dense and can be all over the place. Making a video showing what is done can sometimes be easier to see and understand. From one "pro" to another ;)

Usually if the board is putting out a correct picture without any issues, it will display on the converter. If it isnt putting out an image it may keep refreshing or repeating until it gets a clean signal. Once the board was working correctly again, the sync and image were displayed on the converter.

@spacedock873

Happy that you got the board back to a playable condition (assuming controls work). Unfortunately your repair technique is the electronic equivalent of poking the board with a stick. It worked in this instance but is not good general practice. Try to get some systematic methodology - start with a thorough visual inspection. If you *think* traces may be cut/bridged TEST them with a multimeter in continuity mode. Check electrolytic capacitors for leakage and tantalum capacitors for shorts. Then hook the board up and check voltages on the power rails at multiple points including Vcc to the major IC's. Then check clock signals and reset/watchdog activity. If there is a video issue test the signals with an oscilloscope. Using a video converter just adds another potential problem in the chain - does it work? How does it behave when input signals are wrong? You could end up trying to troubleshoot the video converter instead of the board. Using sandpaper on the IC legs removes the surface plating and promotes rapid oxidation. Better to use a chemical deoxidizer and/or buffing tool. Finally, please DON'T use a screwdriver to lift IC's - use a proper tool. They are very cheap and avoid the risk of damaging the sockets or underlying boards. Feel free to flame/delete this comment if you wish but maybe it has some good advice? 👍
@lukemorse1
2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the comment. To cover the points you mentioned, I will explain. For starters, there are some things that are not listed in the video that are done off camera. Shorts are checked between GND and +5v to make sure there aren't any bridges beforehand. These can be caused by blown caps or bad amplifiers and I make sure of this before plugging in any board. This was not shown in this video but I have mentioned this in other ones. Next, the traces that looked cut, WERE tested for continuity before adding wire. I realized going back and watching the video that I said "they looked bad so I fixed them" but they were tested and found to be broken traces. I agree with measuring voltage on the IC's, this is true and I didn't check several places on this board, only a few points as you could see. Using an oscilloscope and being able to check what each component on the board is doing, attaching a logic comparitor, running the roms through ROMIDENT, checking the address lines and data lines for floating or pins held low, testing components out of circuit to verify internal shorts etc are all great examples of things that can done to perfectly troubleshoot a board. This is not what I'm focusing on with these videos however. I am trying to show those who have limited resources some things they can easily try or do to possibly get their boards up and running again. Time and time again I've see videos that are confusing, strung out intentionally to add extra unnecessary content, too difficult to follow, or just not usable. In a perfect world, these boards would never be left outside, stored in damp places, they would have anti static guards on the bottom of them, heatsinks on the IC's that get too hot and be encased to protect them from getting gouged when stored on a shelf but alas, they aren't and as you can see here, these boards have seen better days. In terms of using a converter or not, this has worked for me with many of the boards I have so to each is own. Adding a 10k resistor inline on SYNC or in some cases correcting positive/negative sync issues using a 74ls04 simple circuit can rectify sync issues but once again, the cga to vga converter has worked for me so I keep it around. As for using sandpaper on the pins, I mentioned this in the video, yes some of the plating can be removed but Eproms and maskroms (especially ones left outside)also get rusted legs which takes off the plating and destroys them. The finer the sandpaper, the less it removes. The sandpaper I'm using in this video is extremely worn down and although it sounds rough on camera, it is quite smooth. I also mention that using some kind of cleaning solution is best if you have it. In terms of screwdrivers, I have mentioned this in several videos but I have never ripped out a trace with one ever. The key is to not wrench down on the board or dig into the board when you pry up. There is honestly no problem at all using them as long as you know where to apply pressure, how much, and very dependent on how stuck they are in the socket. IC tools aren't necessary to remove these chips but for those who like to use them great. All in all, I understand where you are coming from and that what you say would be an excellent way to repair these boards and I am aware of this. For those who are interested in the more in depth correct and thorough method, I would totally recommend going to other channels that provide that information.
