Hi,
I have added a new repair to the wiki. It's a Ghosts 'n' Goblins board which I bought recently.
The evil spirits residing in the EPROMs of this board as pixels came out and hunted me during the entire repair process. This is probably one of the most unlucky repairs I ever did, made worse by my stubborn wanting to take lightly something that wasn't easy per se.
I think you will have some fun reading it; and, as usual, the log contains technical info that I hope will be useful to the community.
Questions, comments, constructive criticism are welcome.

Cheers!

My 15kHz cabinet Peplos will never power up, with any item, and I am quite proud of that.

Re: An unlucky purchase
There's an update to this repair, because the board developed another fault. ...a quite difficult one!Asayuki wrote:http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Ghost%27n ... epair_Logs
I have also moved the repair to the top of the log for your convenience.
I really really do! Is there anybody who knows an exorcist who is willing to visit my board?Asayuki wrote:Man, I DO HATE Arremers!

Re: An unlucky purchase
So Goldstar TTLs are to be treated as "possibly as bad as Fujitsu TTLs" regarding developing faults on internal bonding?

Re: An unlucky purchase
It's hard to base a thesis on one single faulty IC out of God knows how many millions produced, but you do have a point there. The final issue really looked like faulty bonding on that GSS latch.leonardoliveira wrote:So Goldstar TTLs are to be treated as "possibly as bad as Fujitsu TTLs" regarding developing faults on internal bonding?
