If its a board issue, I wouldn't bother fussing with it. Contact Ingo and buy his board. I dealt with faulty original and rottendog boards for years. Replaced with Ingo's board and its like having a new machine. You don't realize how integrated the clock is with so many modes in the game. You lose all of that when the clock doesn't function properly. Nothing better than turning your machine on and not getting the dreaded "Clock Is Broken" message.
