Hi all! I've just got my hands on an original Raiden PCB which I bought as 'untested' and wouldn't ya know it, it's largely dead. Well ya win some, ya loose some I spose. Anyway, when I apply power to it the best result I can get is what may be a hardware test which is just coloured static zigzagging across the screen then a very dim blue screen after that. Other times it just goes straight to the later. Its in great condition aesthetically with no evident damage or burned parts, pretty tidy over all and I tried just re-seating all the socketed chips but still get the same result. I wanted to ask if any of you have the skills and equipment to have a look at it for me, paid of course, or know of anyone outside the forums that repairs PCB's? Its just I've been after this classic title for ages now and it's such a nice copy other than the whole not working bit!!
