Race Drivin PCB help

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all. Can anyone point me in the direction of a pcb repairer? Some of the chips on my Race driving board have got damp somehow and pins are green/blue corrosion on them. Game doesn’t run. I’ve included a link to a video of the leds which just seem to be in a loop attempting to boot. But if anyone knows what this sequence means I’d love to know.

Or a deluxe sit down cockpit board or spare boards would be appreciated. It’s only the smaller top board that has corrosion. Rest are fine.

Thank you

	If you have any soldering skills I would personally attack this issue by chopping out the corroded sockets and clean up the existing eprom legs, check the contents against mame and if good then replace them in the new sockets to see if this cures your boot issue. It just looks like the rusted legs have been exposed to damp and so there may not be any issue with the board itself just the eproms can't be read by the CPU correctly due to the corrosion.
