TSPP reboots during game?!

[J.C.Rox]

Hi all,

I've had TSPP for a few weeks now, lots of play all been fine, changed batteries today and now, after a couple of games its started cutting out and rebooting. then it sits there continuously rebooting, the gi stays on but the dmd resets each time, any suggestions where to check? I've check all connectors nothing seems to have come loose, I only changed the batteries ffs! Will keep tinkering but if there is a specific place to look please enlighten me....Cheers!

Thanks fellas I'll work through the checklist in that link and see what's what!

change the voltage reg

What and how?!

Step 1) plug in soldering iron
Step 2) locate voltage reg
Step 3) change!

Well there is a LM338K silver thing on the driver board, it will be a **** LM338K probably with ST logo on it, ****e, you want a nice LM338K STEEL one... much better.
