Hi, I've already got or downloaded the schematics but does anyone have recommendations for any decent sites with some theory of operations, repair logs or maybe even an Atari troubleshooting guide (like Star Wars) for these board sets? I currently have a pile of Paperboy boards, all of which have at least one fault on each board, if memory serves me correctly most of them just come up with garbage.... Possible repair needed to 720 as well as it keeps resetting (which I presume is the watchdog kicking in) Thanks Karl.

AFAIK there isn't any theory of operation or detailed info for these pcb sets, you need to extract it all from the schematics old-skool style.. I'm about to work on a championship sprint in the next few days, i'm green to these pcbs as well, but i intend to have them 'learned' in the next week or so :) ____________________________________________________________________ Andrew Welburn - http://www.andys-arcade.com/ Quoting Karl Doe : > Hi, > > I've already got or downloaded the schematics but does anyone have > recommendations for any decent sites with some theory of operations, > repair logs or maybe even an Atari troubleshooting guide (like Star > Wars) for these board sets? > > I currently have a pile of Paperboy boards, all of which have at > least one fault on each board, if memory serves me correctly most of > them just come up with garbage.... > > Possible repair needed to 720 as well as it keeps resetting (which I > presume is the watchdog kicking in) > > Thanks > > Karl. > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > ------------------------------------ > > Yahoo!
