help with killer instinct board
« on: March 12, 2008, 04:49:52 pm »
I recently bought a non-working Killer Instinct board and hard drive, with the hopes that i could fix it. It came in the mail today, and after looking around online, I came across a nice size picture of the pcb, and noticed that mine is missing three parts. I've circled them in this picture:



The orange ones are all over the board, and are labeled, but i can't read them. I guess i'll pick up a magnifying glass on the way home tomorrow. The black one is also present elsewhere on the board, but not labeled. And, since I don't have the third piece, I have no idea what it is. Does anyone know what any of them are and/or if finding replacements is a possiblity?

L2 is more than likely just a link
c16 is a surface mount capacitor
the other is a crystal
the last two will be clearly marked as to the values
whats concerning is why they are missing

thanks for the help.

as to why they're missing, the board was obviously dropped (or something equally horrifying) at some point. there are minor scrapes across other components, but nothing that should affect play.

if anyone else has a KI 1 board and can tell me what it says on the crystal, i'd appreciate it.

You may want to post a link to this topic on the monitor/video forum.  There are a lot of engineering guys who may know what circuits are missing.

Stop by my Youtube channel and leave a comment:

Thanks, will do. I wasn't sure whether to put it in that forum or this one.
