Removed old System 1 power supply board for reconditioning with the capacitors, etc, that came in from DigiKey. We will be following recommendations from here: https://www.pinrepair.com/sys1/

We found one wire to this power supply board had been broken or cut near the Molex connector (see photo).

Right now, it is hard to be certain how to separate the board from its metal backing plate. Olivia and I believe we need to desolder the transistor on the back side of the backing plate.

This power supply board is nonstandard, and has clearly been worked on before.

Still working. Downgrading problem to minor. Still worth investigating the power outputs to see if the voltages are correct.

Game has been behaving and is turned on

Game rebooted with a neener neener tune during gameplay

Pics. Let’s hope Discord sees them

A cold start gave me clean self diagnostics and a full game. Nevertheless we may want to swap this for Fireball soon and go through the emphatic recommendations found in https://www.pinrepair.com/sys1/
