Hello Pinballers,
So I’m taking my first venture away from EMs and I’m feeling a bit lost to be honest.
I started looking at the Blackout I picked up and it is isn’t booting at all, just getting the GI lights and the 2 LEDs light up on the MPU Board.
The batteries have leaked so I took the boards out and cleaned them up to prevent it getting worse and checked connections between the 40 pin connector which were all good. I can definitely see damage that needs repairing but I thought I’d get advice from the pros before I do anything at all.
Basically I don’t know whether to see if I can get the board fixed by someone / try and repair it myself or buy replacements?
I’ve started doing a lot of reading and research so any extra info or reading material would be hugely appreciated.
