Naomi 1 + NetDimm black screen

Post by @Alaska- »

Got no problem with my naomi 1 setup (either was with gd-rom drive or netbooting) for the past years
but all of sudden when i power it up i get black screen for apparently no reason because everything is just the same it was when it worked

if i unplug the net Dimm the naomi shows the error for no cart/game/whatever inserted
also i tried the net Dimm on net city with a naomi 2 and it correctly boots waiting for network

so i came to the conclusion that my naomi 1 mobo is the problem

could it be a contact problem or is anything else?
i already dismounted the upper case in order to give the mobo and net dimm a tighter squeeze but that still didn't do the job :/

you'll get a black screen if the voltages aren't right, the netdimm setup does pull a bit more juice. PSUs degrade over time, did you try bumping the voltage up a bit ?

Did you try to test the voltage with
- only the motherboard
- motherboard with the net dimm

I think that bumping your voltage up a bit can be the solution

i didn't have any testing for the voltage but i forgot to mention that i 'm using an external psu for the naomi setup (so no juice is pulled from the astro city psu)

psu is a regular pc atx


if i would where i should measure the voltage?

are they both needed to power up the naomi?
i use just the 4x2 connector

there also is a 3x2 connector on the Capcom I/O
is that utilized somewhat?
