Symptoms: Sound mis-firing, then sound dead. Few hours later, blank
(black) screen of deadness.

Fix:

10A fuse on power brick blown - bad Q11

As suspected, bad RIOT chip - sounds now fine

Also removed the battery and replaced RAM with DS1220, good for 10 years.

BTW, I was the tech for Joystick Junkies parties for nearly three years. I
also the tech for Orange mobile at the Glastonbury and Reading festivals in
2003 when they had Asteroids and SI machines in the recharge tent. I think
I'm more than qualified to fix my own shit thanks.
