Rodland pcb working but can't play

[R2-2D]

Hi,

I have this problem with a Rodland pcb which i have just bought.
The problem is that i can't play it ! It runs graphics and sound allright , but when i press start , nothing happens.
Even when i put it on "freeplay" it doesn't react when i hit the start button.
I have tried on both my cabs.
There is this thing that came loose from the pcb (see photo) could it be that this is the problem ?




This game is nostalgia for me , i hope you guys can help me.

thats some heavy duty crap for you mate,that thingy that has come loose it actually a custom ic so unless you can get it back to its original position then your board is for the bin
also it looks like all the legs are snapped on the custom ic so its gonna almost impossible to do

That is not the answer that i was hoping for..

It is so strange everything else works..

Not impossible at all. Quite easy really, if you have the right equipment.

very true,experience is required as well-i think it has already been repaired by none other than poolchamp

News to me i could never get it done when pcb repairs when done by loads of people ,So i had to do them myself ...

Now you say there easy good we could do with some help on the forum with repairs if you wanna do them for free ....

Otherwise dont knock it tilll you try it all advice and repairs are free here apart from craig .....
