So my WCS doesn`t want to boot...as per this thread
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/game-wont-bootparty-tonighthelp

And I decided tonight to take the driver board out of the game and look at the back side. I've never attempted repair work before and was wondering if a) this was still salvagable and b) how to clean to the board (fried stuff) to do board work.

Thanks

I'll clean the board first. See how it turns out.

According to the other thread about the board itself I'm not getting proper voltage out of the BR2. LED2,3,4 are out on the board. Take a look at the thread posted in the first post. Maybe you can weight in.

I'm going to clean this board even if it doesn't work because I really need to learn this stuff and what better way than to just do it hands on

On the other hand the guy who sold me this game will be crucified once I am done. I will post all the pictures and things that were done to fix this apparently above average player's game.

I had specifically asked if there were burnt connectors and hacks on the board. He told me there wasn't. I got the game and some of the connectors were burned to a crisp. Some of the wired in the IDC connectors are soldered in place. Some wires are cut and are just holding with electrical tape. The DMD board is black. And what might have contributed to all these problems in the first place was the fact that half...yes half....of all the fuses on the board were over-amped. I pulled a 15A 32V SB from one of the fuses holders between F111-114 (don't remember which) and alot of 7A 250V SB from 3A 250V sockets...so the board itself must have been crying for mercy...

All of this will be for another thread.
