Tales from the Crypt
Data East, 1993Quoted from Irishbastard:Ok, pulled board, tested Q44 along with Q36 (shooter coil trannys), then both rows of transistors and drivers... All are in spec, all reading similar. Also put one lead to tab of each tranny and ground, no shorts..
Found bad Q5 on PPB, replaced
Played two games, "appears" fine
I meant to tell you to also test the PPB board, along with reflowing solder there, just my A.D.D didn't co-operate.

Thanks Eric, no need to reflow, I reflowed EVERY solder point on this thing last time.
Let's see if she behaves now that the PS is replaced, fingers crossed.

It better. You can sell that old PSU to mitigate some of the cost too.
I wonder if this has all been karmic payback for you using the word "tranny" as short for "transistor."
Seeing as how we're not allowed to call diagonal cutters "dikes" any more...
