I just switched the game on after 20+ years of storage, with the backbox open, after checking the the boards looked good, no acid damage (batteries were already removed) and making sure all the connectors at least looked well connected... the game has been stored in a warm dry place for the last 2 years, so there's no condensation possibility... the GI came on and the 'molecular mixmaster' disk was spinning and there was a message on the left display, but I couldn't read it because it was in German... it stayed like this, so I decided to turn it off rather than just have the motor spinning... then I turned it on again to see if it behaved the same, and to try and get into the menu system, but this time nothing at all... zero, not even the faint flicker of a light... I'm guessing a fuse has gone...
If, by some miracle, someone else with a Dr Dude recognises this behaviour of the disk spinning while having a message in the left display who can shed some light on this, then please shed that light!
Also, anyone know what fuses I need to check now it's totally dead?
Thanks a lot!!!
