Quoted from Dkearns55:FatPanda I know it seems like I am taking the easy way out. I looked at the Siegecraft addons and read quite a bit...certainly seemed like a viable route. My concern was the fact that some of the lighting isn't working and I am up against a deadline of sorts. My dad would be disappointed in my choice...lol...he was a masterful technician and troubleshooter. Perhaps I lost some confidence when I screwed the SDB repair coupled with the time it takes to troubleshoot through the forums, order components, install and pray that I don't mess it up again! Replacing the board felt like the safer bet. I am going to keep the board and would like to talk about how to troubleshoot and repair it. I just need the time to do it!
You are correct...I meant capacitors. Several are broken off of the switches and I am going to replace them.
No worries at all! Not everyone has the time to make repairs and just want the game up and running. No shame in that at all. Was just offering some solutions and ways to get some money back and not scrapping the original boards.
As an aside (for me anyway) if things get stressful in this hobby, then best bet is to walk away and come back to it later. It should be enjoyable and when I find that I get frustrated or stressed, I walk away and revisit it at a later time.
