If reseating doesn't work the first (and cheapest) boards to try replacing would be the 2 smaller ones on top (rom and comms)
I should have a spare (or 3) in my parts black-hole somewhere...

So, I noticed the top board wasn't proper seated at one of the white connectors. After removing I found one of the pins was bent in two places. I separated all the boards, straightened the bent pin and crossed everything. Did it work?

......

No.

But I do now have a different colours on the screen

Lift the top board and make sure pins are not bent.

Dave.

P.S These are a little new for me hence me not helping much as such !

If someone close by is able to lend you a stack to troubleshoot with them you can swap boards around.
If you get stuck, I’ve probably got the 2 shorter boards spare that you can test with but I’ll need to dig them out and test them to ensure they’re good.

Cheers, I'll have a search locally first and see what I can find 👍

Ha ha! I cleaned it up and still the same! Which led me to checking possible noisy 5v line (no idea what I was doing!?), increasing voltages, changing PSUs, (lots of helpful advice from the legend @channel27 :love: ) I was at Jewson's at 8am to get contact cleaner – nothing changed but I learnt a trick from Ken irepairsega involving shorting PC62 decoupling cap to "pull voltage back up and clear content RAM"! Didn't work for me though! :LOL:

Sooo... let's just do some board swapping then as first planned – I was pretty sure it was the CPU board on the original that was toast as it had three scorch-like marks on it – so was just hoping the video board was ok.

And...


DAAYTOOOOONAAAAAAH!!!! HA ha!

Had me on a crazy trip with a supposed working stack that didn't – not surprised as it had been stored in clay! – but learnt loads from this and am happy Dan :D

Lots more to do, monitor has a bit of foldover on the top and sizing, shifter needs looking at or replacing next on the list.

I did also reseat the ROMs on the game board, I don't think it was that that fixed it though - would be a bonus if it was, but tend not to get too many of them! 😆
