Hi all, I'm stumped I was finishing up the shop job on my Corvette, I was playing a game when it resetted itself, I waited it booted up I figured it just the dreaded C5 or BR going bad. However I changed out the BR2 and C5 a year ago. I noticed the LED 4 for the +5vdc was off...I pulled the board and checked the caps and BRs again, I also reheated the fuse holders and J101 and 1102 headers. No Joy, I pulled my board from my NF and the game booted with the new board. So I know there is something is wrong with the driver board. I went ahead and replaced the LM323k cause that is the last piece of the +5vdc that was not recently replaced. I'm not sure what to look for next...any help is appreciated.

Thanks Zaza you are the best man. Thanks Inkochinto swapped another board in and machine fired up. Yes Chris I agree, it looks that way but I was cleaning up a prior operators work he had installed the cap outside of the board and had ran wires to the back of it. Thanks for the help, I guess I pulled an eyelet. I can't seem to pull that cap without damaging the eyelet. The weird thing is it was working and playing fine after the cap change. I'll run a jumper and report back.

So now I have to tell you why this thing is confusing me so much...I went ahead and rang out the BR2 and C5 and the strange thing is that both the neg and pos leg of the BR are ring with both legs of the C5? I replaced the BR again thinking it was shorted out but have the same result....is there a Zener Diode somewhere that's blown?

Well this thing had me confused to no end, I even compared the readings to the driver board I took out of NF. But as usual there wasn't only one failed component there were 2...the shorted LM323K and the damaged C5 eyelet which I assume happened when I took it a second time. And not knowing I went looking else where. Long story short it just didn't make sense so I looked for the short in several places till I noticed the voltage regulator was ringing out all the time instead of momentarily like the NF board with ohmmeter. Replaced Ther VR and Stitched C5 and game booted up.....thanks all around gents.
