Hi Guys
Finally got around to working on my Galaxy after months of having it switched off.
I got a MPU processor kit from Big Daddy which had amongst other things two new ram chips and sockets.
Previously the machine would boot up but hang on third flash. Seemed to be a ram chip issue from what I researched.
Anyway, I de-soldered the old sockets, soldered in new ones, installed new chips. Booted her up and observed some really weird happenings.
First power on it chimed a couple of times and then the chime stuck on, a few more power ons and it booted up but wouldn't go into game play.
Finally after many power downs and power ups (sounds like bloody microsoft windows) I got it to play a game, the GI lights were really pulsing bright and dim, which shouldn't happen as I completely rebuilt the rec board a while ago.
Got up to fourth ball and the machine froze, chime sounded continuous.
Just powered it down and restarted it. Got it sitting now as I'm not sure if it might be a battery issue, I fitted a capacitor to it a while back and it has run right down.
Just wondering if it might have some more bad chips in it. The kit I got came with more new sockets and chips but haven't fitted these yet as I was keen to power it up and try a game.
Any ideas!!!
Cheers
