Quoted from The_Great_Man:I know it can be done. And I certainly admire and respect anyone who can do it...I just might not have the talent and tools required to go through all the necessary steps. As for what I did - Everyone who has done it knows it is very hard to fix a game that has been sitting for 15 years. Sometimes when you get things working that haven't worked in a long time - other things break.
But talking about work that I did that may have caused a problem. When I was replacing the large capacitor - C10 - on the power supply, I spilled a small piece of solder - maybe 1/8" x 1/4" on the capacitor. I left it because I was not sure I could remove it. I did not think much of it but maybe that is causing some problems. When I just checked that capacitor with my DMM - I did not get a reading. Any thoughts on that screw up/

Kind of following along, but kind of not, but to answer this question, no, the blob of solder you spilled should not cause any issues. Since you can see it, you can still scrape it off. I'll have to read through your earlier posts, and I'm by no means any pro, but I brought a pretty far off Laser Cue back to life as well (with help from the fine folks here), and if I can do it, I'm sure anyone can.
