Re: The IGS PGM thread
Anybody know how many PGM 1 motherboard revisions that exists and if they have any id, like revision number or something? Also, if there's any functional differences between them?
I'm curious since I've encountered two (see the photos in my previous post) and supposedly there's another one with IGS printed on the back of the PCB.

Re: The IGS PGM thread
Interesting question, mine are the same as the non coin cell mobo in your picture.
Mine have pgm molded into the red plastic cover, do the ones that don't have this and have the foil sticker instead
Like this one http://s27.photobucket.com/user/cusser/ ... 5.jpg.html
have a different board too.... anyone have one they can check?

Re: The IGS PGM thread
Both mine also have the PGM logo molded into the cover. Though it is possible that the one with coin cell may has been swapped at some point. Unfortunately the date sticker on that mobo is unreadable so I don't know the manufacturing date

Re: The IGS PGM thread
That's a shame about the date sticker
Hopefully someone else will be able to help with this one.

Re: The IGS PGM thread
That so suxx Check with sheep_nova on fleaBay. I think he's got a few available for a decent price. Just make sure you get some pics of the mobo before buying I bought the one with coin cell battery from him.cthulhu wrote:My PGM mobo just crapped out on me...the battery damage was worse than I expected, Will have to buy a replacement soon.

Re: The IGS PGM thread
I have the two types of plastic cover, with sticker and molded, but none has a coin cell holder.
I can check the PCB layout if you guys are interested.

Did you try patching the broken traces? I've successfully repaired one in that condition, it was as easy as this:

Re: The IGS PGM thread
That'd be awesome. If you could snap a couple of pics of the unit + top/bottom of the main PCB, I'd be grateful Would be great to get them on the wikiRMRM wrote:I have the two types of plastic cover, with sticker and molded, but none has a coin cell holder.

Re: The IGS PGM thread
These are just for reference, if you want to post something later, i can take some better quality ones. The stiker says Feb 1997 and Jan 1999. The older one has some nasty corrosion and a ghetto repair,lol.
The PCB have a different color but the layout seems the same. When i take the better quality pictures i can also take them apart to show the interior.
Cheers

Re: The IGS PGM thread
Thanks for the link to that video! The damage is just like described in the video with the corroded 4 player connector and the whole area eaten away. I'll try cleaning the damage and patching the traces tomorrow and if it doesn't work for me, I'll get one of Sheep_nova on Ebay...I've already bought things of this seller before and I know that he's quite reliable.RMRM wrote:Did you try patching the broken traces?

Re: The IGS PGM thread
Told you that should do the trick. Great
Just give it a good clean with baking soda to prevent further corrosion.
