Game Board #1 11/1/2013

Problem:

  • Game has lines through it, resets and has random other junk.
  • cannot get +5V to anything more than +4.2V

Troubleshooting/dianosis steps:

  1. Noticed that there is a burning plastic smell eminating from the board
  2. Noticed that many of the 4116 RAM chips are so hot they will burn with just a touch.
  3. Socketed and replaced about 10 4116s that were burning hot
  4. Game works!
