On the CPU board, there is a small component, C62 that looks like a resistor (maybe a capacitor due to the "C" designation but I'm not circuit board savvy). It is on the side closest to the connections of the four boards to the machine. With the machine off, use a pair of hemostats or something simliar to short across the component, and hold for twenty seconds or so. This will, amazingly, fix that very problem the next time you turn on the machine.

My apologies to Ken if he doesn't want this trick given out, but it is a simple solution for a simple problem that I've had to deal with.

If you need more sophisticated repairs, then he is the one to talk to, for sure.

man you're jerking me,i was told thats an ic failure-i am going to try it tomorrow and if you are correct i may kiss you :smt008

it was on a Sega bulletin I believe, but it fixes many issues.

I was a bit surprised myself when he had me do it over the phone.

No kiss necessary...

Do all Daytona board have the C62? I swear I've looked for over an hour, and I can't find it :smt017 Maybe I have a different revision? Mine's the 1994 version btw.

Edit: I found a PC62 component which resembles a tiny resistor...could it be this? Its in between IC 40 and IC 65.

It looks like a tiny resistor. I'll check my board in the morning and see exactly what it's called.

Yes, it is PC62, sorry for the confusion.

Wow thanks man! I believed you and everything, but I was still shocked that something so simple fixed the problem. Its a lot more fun playing this game with a viewpoint I actually like. Thanks again! I'm interested to see how grantspain's worked out now...

did not work for me,but mine had some drink spillage so it may explain

HI

I spoke to Ken yesterday his current repair charges for Daytona Video PCB's is $125 each, with shipping of $50 back to the Uk.

Not sure if i can strech this much at the moment but will have to see.

That sucks man. For what its worth, it didn't work the first time I tried it, but I think the problem was that I didn't short the resistor for long enough (~20 sec.) I tried again for a good 30 seconds, and it fixed it. Hope you get yours fixed.
