Hi all
I have a reset problem with my BSD. I went through the list of things to check and do at pinwiki. So, I’ve changed capacitors and bridges. Also, inspected the board visually to check for broken or cracked solder joins. I’ve reflowed solder and replaced relevant TIP 36 and 102.
I then replaced the power board with my STTNG and then everything works. I then reinstalled the original power board and the reset was back. So, I’m quite sure it’s the board giving me a hard time.
Then by incident I pushed the U5 and the game made a reset. I pushed it again and yet another reset. Then I took out the PB and reflowed all pins on the IC. Reinstalled PB but again it would reset during game and when I pushed U5. Took out the board again and installed a new 74LS374N but still the game will reset when played and when I push U5 by hand. So I guess that it was not the IC itself that caused the problem – but what then ?!? What is the most likely problem to look for in this situation?
Just to make sure, I dipped the board in holy water and threw in a couple of garlics under the play field. Don’t know what’s going on in my basement during night time !!!
