bent pcb w/ sound problems

I got this cart from yaton and the sound is no good most of the time.
After many insertions I can get it to run ok, but one of the pcb is helluva
bent. I am guessing with all the flexing this cart will be short lived and be
100% Non-Working very soon.

Anyone thats has dealt with him, will he replace a working faulty cart like this?

I've had him replace/refund stuff without any problem, but that was years ago.

What Game is it?

Bootleg>,Legit?

What did the auction Say?Original-Working?

Ahhhh...
Your game looks to have the classic pcb bend that I've spoke about many times here via caused by the case pressing on the boards too much.
I bet those boards have no wobble..

I have seen this in a lot of yaton carts I bought where the case was not the original case.(swapped cases)

This will cause the game to slide into the mobe real tight and not work properly..Not good on the mobo pins

Loosen up the screws on the case and see if the bending goes away..
I have had to leave a board out the case few days to get it to bend back straight.

Try the boards in another case..

Make sure to clean the connectors on the game pcb real good..

I have had to carefully shave parts of the insides of cases to get the case to stop pressing on the boards too tight.
I've even added tiny washers once on the front screw towers to keep the case from closing so tight.

you could try to clean the games boards then loosen the screws in the cart a liitle to create some wobble in the game boards then try it..

If it's a bootleg.I've seen where the damn EPROM Chips were so high that they bumped the botton of the top board and caused a bend.

Found the problem. One of the surface mounts has 3 of the legs crushed together.

Nice..Legit Neo Bomberman carts are hard to come by...

I hope it gets repaired....or refunded..

(note: you still have to fix it from bending if you keep it or it'll mess up your mobo
