Title: Dont you hate it when.....
Post by: VertexGuy on May 24, 2014, 07:16:26 pm
Somebody sells you a board saying it only has a few bad roms.. then you flip the board over and find a bunch of ripped traces?
here is one area , it wasn't as bad as the upper part of the board but still .. they were brokey.

Wrapping it up.. works nice now.. had to reflow a bunch of shit too.. plus the ribbon he gave me for the sound board sucked rhino dicks so I replaced it.

YES! I hate when that happens or they sell you a "working" board with missing chips.  >:(

That's what I thought at first with this board.. it was missing 4 chips but its not.
Its that prototype mk1 board with the yellow wire .
