here is the photo of the plug cross over as well as a photo from the net of the BR3 that the mixed wires link up to and also pinwiki said to consider a regulator chip

Question - how do I count the leg number on a chip to see if this could possibly be my issue



lastly this is the pinwiki site
http://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Data_East/Sega

one end of the chip will have a semi circle indent in it or / and a small dot next to a pin. this pin is pin 1.
or with the indent to the top pin 1 will be the top left pin
