Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me with this.
I have what appears to be a Bootleg Pac 3 bd. It has a small board (about
the size of 2 postage stamps) screwed to the upper right hand corner(not a
little black box). The small bd has 2 resistors, 2 caps, a 8 pin chip and a
pot.
There are 3 wires coming off it connecting it to the main bd,
Grn, Yel, Org
Green is attached to PCB gnd
Org is attached to main connector pin 18
I can't figure where the yellow goes, it was disconnected when it came in.
Looking at the board closely I can see a few places where it could go.
When the game came in it would lock during boot with 1, 2 or 3 characters on
the screen.
Pin 4 of IC at loc 9D has been cut out.
2 set of 2 pads between 9E & F have been jumped.
I tried to solder the yellow to the pin 4 pad at 9D and I get the same boot
problem.
I tried to disconnect the 3 wires completely but I get no video at all.
I tried to connect yellow to 5M pin 5, no boot.
If someone could tell me where the yellow wire goes...
I saw nothing obvious...
I can send pics to anyone interested in seeing them.
Thanks
