Quoted from someotherguy:

I think these driver mods are really interesting in terms of correcting factory deficiencies, replacing with more efficient components, or substituting other components in place of obsolete ones. However! What games are burning up these drivers so badly in normal operation? I've worked on a bunch of games in this generation and never seen one burnt so badly in that area, in such a uniform manner. In other words barring catastrophic failure of a component, or damage due to improper repairs, etc. but just that nice even solid burnt area like in the previous pics?

Our group bought a Data East Star Trek, in "working" condition. Game was in such bad shape, had numerous locked on transistors in the light matrix causing these hot spots. The resistors were getting so hot from the locked on transistors, that it was melting the solder.
