Subject: VECTOR: Taito Asteroids Short and Solder
Gang,
Started to work on my Taito Asteroids board last night.
Plugged it in and it blew a fuse!
Looked around the board which was clean, no noticable shorts, cleaned bits
and pieces, cleaned edge connector. Replaced the fuse, plugged it in and
this time it blew a tant cap near the 2114 rams. Pop!!!!!
So clearly there is a short - what is the best way to find it? Could it
have been the cap or was the cap just the weakest point.
Without further advice I wasn't going to do anything else, I thought I
would socket the rams anyway.
I can't budge the solder. It won't melt except a bit. I tried flowing new
solder to it, but it kind of just sat on top. Anything I should be doing for
old solder?
As always - thanks.
Paul
