Here's the Rub. Picked up a Genesis working but a bit dirty and otherwise in great shape. The big and only problem is the sound doesn't start up on power up and I have to hit the reset on the sound board in order to get the sound to kick in. When it boots the led on the sound board stays a solid red, after I hit the reset it starts blinking slowly. Works fine after that though. I read in another thread that the MPU resets the sound on bootup and there may be a problem with that reset circuit. Any direction as to how I can diagnose this or common culprits for this issue would be wonderful as I'd like to get it working 100%

Thanks ahead of time,
