Jamma edge cconnector problems

Pages: (1/1)

g.robert:

I want to purchase from Bob Roberts a Jamma edge card connector with pins ASAP. I have a converted (from killer instinct) area 51 site 4. It frequently re-starts sometimes sticking in a continuous shut down / re-start mode. It seems when I wiggle the Jamma edge card connector the problem goes away for a few hours to days. I believe this is due to a loss of the +5VDC at that connection. Am I on the right track?

SirPeale:

Sounds like it.  You could just tighten up the connection and clean the pins so it makes better contact.

g.robert:

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

ArcadEd:

If the cleaning doesn't work, try putting a bead of solder on the pin on the board.  This will cause the connector to go in a bit tighter and make a better connection.
