Quoted from Collin:Hey all,
I've got a couple Williams Flash projects I picked up (from two different places, but in similar condition.) I already cleaned up corrosion on both, replaced chip sockets, ROMs, and the power and 40-pin connectors. I have not attached batteries or NVRAM yet.
Game 1: Boots, shows "1486 1" on the plyer 1 display, and "04 00" on the credit display.
I was able to get it out of audits by flipping it off and back on momentarily, as I've seen mentioned in other threads. Based on that, where should I start troubleshooting?
Game 2: Has appropriate voltages (roughly) at the MPU - 11.9, 4.8-4.85, and 0 (ground) with no noticeable AC ripple. The two LEDs stay on. Is my 5V too low for the game to boot? If not, where should I start? Suspect the reset circuit, or something else? (All backbox fuses are good.)
Thanks in advance!
game 1 sounds like it is working but the ram is corrupted because of lack of battery / nvram
game 2 could be the reset, but likely something else. If p40 of the CPU is high your reset circuit is probably OK.
