Board would make the coin up sounds when the coin mechs were triggered. Looked at the board carefully and found a corroded pin on a capacitor. This corrosion went down into the PC board and ate an internal trace. This disconnected power from 2 ROMs. Removed the cap, cleaned up as much of the damage as possible, and ran 2 jumper wires to fix the game.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Repairer:&#039;&#039;&#039; Apocalypse&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Source:&#039;&#039;&#039; [https://web.archive.org/web/20191230200704/http://arcadefixer.blogspot.com/2017/07/ Rally Bike - Taito 1988 (repair log)]&lt;br&gt;<br /> Inputs weren&#039;t working and game throwed a tilt error when entering in attract mode and just after rebooted:&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[File:ApocRBIKE_1.JPG]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[File:ApocRBIKE_2.JPG]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> This could have been a terribly difficult repair. Why? Cause on this harware inputs are handled by the sound CPU (Z80). Normally you wouldn&#039;t see the link between them. Luckily Caius form JAMMARCADE made a post about this. So I started with the basics in the sound section, I probed the audio RAM and found data signals weren&#039;t much healthy. I piggybacked the RAM and game didn&#039;t throw the tilt error anymore. After replacing it game worked perfectly:&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[File:ApocRBIKE_3.JPG]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[File:ApocRBIKE_4.JPG]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> Game fixed.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Big thank to Caius.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Repair Logs]]</div>
