Today I got this Punisher PCB on a trade for some console gaming stuff, the board is fine aesthetically but it wont boot, first I tried the basics, cleaned the contacts on the jamma edge, adjusted the +5V rail, nothing, so I went ahead and opened the board,
First thing I did was to measure the battery on the Q sound board, and to my surprise ...it was dead, it reads 0v,but the other battery, the one on the video board seems to be fine, it reads 3+ volts.
To my knowledge when the battery that powers the kabuki chip on the Q sound board dies, the game still plays, but you can't get any sound from the PCB, is that correct? so I believe that this thing must be completely f****d up , this is my first CPS dash PCB so I will need help from somebody whom I can send this board to get it fixed since its an expensive game and I 'd hate to have to leave it there lying on the shelf rotting without getting any play time.
