Tech: Sf Rush Extreme screen freezing up. lock ups. sit do..

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

Been working on one of these today and one problem off the bat was the
+5 volts jumping up and down. The edge connector pins were very relaxed
and fit loose. The 5 volt pads on the board only had very mild burn.
They are shiny now. So now I have a stable 5.155 volts on the board.
The average is sticking. I had this up to 5.3 after I changed the pins
and it still locked! I was told that 5.3 is what it should run at and
suspect this caused that lock up. I now went half way with 5.15 volts
and will see what that does tomorrow. that's were I left off. If she is
still locking any suggestions? I know there was a mod for the rush the
rock boards.. this is a extreme. unless if the extreme boards are
exactly the same except form roms? Thanks.

Try hooking up an old computer power supply to the hard drive. that's worked
for me in the past.
