Hello all, I've been trying to figure out reset issues that suddenly cropped up on a FT. When measuring TP2 I was showing 5v but at pin 32 on the game rom, I was only getting 4.72v
Following the pinwiki guide it says to check all your molex connections starting with j114. When I pulled off j115, I noticed the topmost pin (brown wire) area was pretty crispy. With that molex unplugged, I turned on the machine and measured a full 5v at both TP2 and the game rom, but of course all my GI is out on the game. I then tried to put the crispy molex back on the machine but the GI wouldnt come back on, no matter what I did and by now the j115 molex was starting to break apart at the crispy end.
Just now I replaced the bad molex with a fresh one but still no GI and none of the J115 pins are showing any voltage readings. I checked all fuses in the game and all is good there. Fuse 115 is showing 12 volts on both sides of the fuse.
Is my next step to pull the board and check the solder joints to those J115 pins? I'm hoping I can check something else before pulling the board out.
Thanks in advance!
