I recently bought a (supposedly working) Captain Commando CPS1 B Board, which only shows a black screen when booted. I've tried it with 2 different working A boards (taken from 3 wonders and SF2CE) and the result is always the same.
Since these boards have a suicide battery, I would like to know if dead CPS1 games do behave this way (black screen, no graphics or sound at all) so I can find out if the problem is indeed the battery (and try to fix it) or something else.
As a side note, I tested the battery with a multimeter and it marked 2.95V. Also it looks as it has never been removed (it still has the protective black foam on top). ->[edit] Just looked the bottom of the C board and, judging from the soldering job, it does look as it has been replaced.
Anyone has got any experience with this?
Thanks in advance,
