Right picked up a williow and the c board seems to be borkered ...what are my option is there any other c boards compatible with

pic of damaged c board right hand side

According to the info at arcadecollecting.com : http://www.arcadecollecting.com/info/cps-b_numbers.html", Willow is the only game that uses the CPS-B-03 chip.

That would mean the only source for a replacement "C" board would be another Willow board.

If you have the right tools, you can repair the damage on that chip (most likely), I've fixed several "C" boards with broken traces or bent/lifted pins. The only damage that is irrepairable is if the board wasn't seated properly when power was applied and the chip is burned out.

gonna have a sit down tonight and see what i can manage with it ...fingers crossed and all that

Good luck! I will say a prayer to the PCB gods for you. Willow is a great game.

do it with a needle and solder flux, shouldn't be too hard to do! crossing the fingers!

alright so spent quite a while at this over the last day and a bit taking my time etc ..
I had 2 pins that where causing me more trouble than others (6 pins to fix in all).These were touching each others tracks ,and bent to **** ,so got them all seperated and re-solder as much as i could ..i didnt add any solder as i hate these type of chips as they always cause me hassle so the outcome below





games up and running but with some glitches ,overall not too bad, the willow screen being the worst guys is orange as he was hit,
Now not sure if this is still the c board or somehting else, i have my suspicions that its could be the 2 pins that cause me the most hassle as one was /is very hard to get solder down without connecting to the other track ...i might try run a wire from that pin to the connector and see if it makes a difference

Did i mention that my eye's are now crossed from looking at stupid little pins

and yes kern i do realise i have one button a different colour

looks like it's still C-board related lover.

excellent thanks rossy ...kinda had a feeling it was ...back to pins 5&6 again tomorrow

well have had no luck so far ...still the same ,

I went over all the 12 pins as best as i could and all seem to be ok.I even ran a wire from the one i was having trouble with ,The 6th one in ,and no differece,
I also tested with this one not connected and it made no difference Same picture ...

Could be a bad ROM I guess, but the C board is already suspect. Just stabbing in the dark really. Hard to tell without it in front of me, sorry old bean.

yeah gonna go through the roms and check those hopefully

right so i had no other cp1 mb around that i knew worked so i picked up another from rossyra switched the mb and



it works perfectly .. excuse the crappy pic, in my joy i rooted out my dslr but couldnt get a decent pic with it so had to use another camera still not much better

Awesomeular

Have you tried the screwy mobo on CAW? They don't all use the same RAM.

aye might have a poke around with the other board ....i presume it could be one of the custom chips, not much i can see wrong with it either way ,not overaly pushed now anyway

Could be a number of things, worth a shot I spose.

Woo nice one G-money!

Have fun!
