I have an garou mark of the wolves cart, and I think that I ruined it with a power spike. I was starting on my consolising project for my mv1c, and when doing the final hookup for the power, I didnt double check the wires, and put the +12 volt wire on the +5 volt slot, and vise versa. I plugged in my board, and the screen just went all crazy! I checked the wires, and said OH SHIT! they were backwards. Then I switched them to the normal oriation, and all other carts but my garou work. The cart "works" but everything is pixleated, as if it were just a dirty cart. So I opened it up, cleaned off all tabs with an eraser, used rubbing alcohal, and everything. I try to play the cart again. and no difference. Is there possibly something that I can do? Or am I just out of luck and in need of posting in the wanted section? Thanks!

Damn dude that sucks man. I think its a goner dude, you might have to get a new Garou. Could also be a sprite chip fried, maybe someone can burn you a new one? I dunno.

Lolz - when I read that I thought you meant you'd dropped a Power Spikes cart on a Garou cart or something....

So I guess there is no hope, and I am stuck with the Wanted forum again?
