Hi all!
My Atomiswave was working fine until it just stopped.

Had a look on the board and noticed the diodes ZD7 in particular smoked.

I know these are for ESD protection and I have seen a few forums say "just remove it, it will work still" well, I must be very unlucky or something as I removed the diode and tried to see if it would boot and no luck.

Any ideas how I can get my board working?
The fan turns on but no signal.

I would be happy to replace the diode but Atomiswave forums/ repair guides are slim pickings.

Love my Neo Geo forum people! Bunch of techy gurus!

Thanks,
Looking forward to trying anything.
