Rkahr, Do you recommend put your daughterboard to avoid resets in the future? Or in pinballs that have sporadic resets?
Quoted from rkahr:Dulux,
Sporadic resets? Absolutely recommend it. A machine that is not resetting very often has a power supply that is
Nice, after 20 years ago, the "best update" to our Williams Machines, congratulations
Quoted from Imeh:My question is, would it be advisable to install these anyway to prevent an issue in the future? I intended just to keep them as insurance, but if they help prevent failure, I'll go ahead and put them in. Advice please.
Yes, Rob answered yes, see page 3:
"A machine with no resets? I concluded the overall power loading is better balanced with the daughterboard than without so I think it's a good idea. Some suggest viewing the reset as the "credit dot" of power supplies and don't want to mask that early indicator of power supply problems. That's a valid line of thinking that shouldn't be discredited. In my mind however, no resets indicates a strong or "good enough" power supply so it's really a question of whether one thinks the better loading balance will extend the life of the good equipment. Trying to relate the decision to something outside electronics, pollen allergies typically cause me to have a couple miserable days in the spring so I typically take Claritin (or generic equivalent) from March to June each year. I don't need it every day (and I might not need it at all in a given spring) but I can't predict for sure so I just do it. So... this is a longwinded way of me trying to point out both sides of the coin and tell you it's your call."
