Help !!!!
If folk think I should junk these boards and buy a Pascal one, please say.
The seller of my dead Genie was not knowledgeable about pinball machines. He told me he had done this hack to the coin door board in the base of the cab to allow free play?
Is this hack kosher ?
The game does make noises on power up, but does not boot. Does anyone recognise this diode hack to the sound board, just inside the coin door ?
The mpu board has a few hacks, any ideas whether these are legit ?
This pic is clearer and shows the hack on the topside ...
The connector strips on the mpu look horrendous, and this shows the hack on the bottom side. It is to a1-j7, which is the most knackered connector ...
At least the driver board looks unhacked, if a little toasted under the big tranny ...
Underside of driver board ...
Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this mess
