Black Knight pin blowing fuses
ChadTower:
Expand on which part? If you mean the 40 pin connector, go over to Clay's guide and read up on it. I can't explain it better than he does. It's pretty much a 100% mandatory rehab task for reliability on any Sys3-7 game. If you drive all the way out there, tell him you'll support his game but don't replace the 40pin interboard connector, you're going to be chasing phantom problems in that game indefinitely.
Now, given that another tech has looked at it, maybe it's already done, but 4 hours is a lot of driving if you don't know.

Yes, I was talking about the 40 pin connector. I'll look it up. You said Clay - are those docs on Marvin's site?

Yep, that's the author's name.

I didn't think I could get to that site from here but today I can. There's the url. ;D
SirPeale:
Yup, I found it. Looks like an easy swap, assuming the solder is still good. Waiting to hear back from the guy.
Heck, it might be easier to take the whole machine back to the shop and do the work there.
ChadTower:
Easy swap, time consuming if you are charging by the hour and cannot point to a specific need to replace it. And it's a specialized part, definitely not one you have on hand otherwise. GPE is a good source.
You often also run into battery corrosion on the left side of that connector. That's where the nvram/settings/audit circuit is and that can mess up the solder as you mentioned.
