Title: Gorgar Issues Post by: Karaoke Mike on August 12, 2011, 04:49:14 PM Hi,
My Gorgar has been kicking my butt. When I got it originally I sent the boards out , psu,sound,mpu and driver. Had them updated and repaired. Then it was only played here and there for the next few months. After finally giving it a good couple hour playing it burned up 2 soleiods but did not shut down. Replaced the 2 burned soleniods and now I beleive I am having driver issues as it won't boot. My question is,: Is it worth it to upgrade to the Rottendog combo board or just get the boards looked at from who did them originally? I really don't want it to nickel and dime me. Any help is appr.

Those driver boards for the Williams games have been so hacked through the years, that they are hard to keep up and running.

However, the replacement board eventually had a header pin failure from a cold solder joint. It pissed me off so much I wrote back to them again and they sent me another one. This time I haven't had any problems...uh...yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one... They are NOT cheap boards but use the same old header pin connections which is so outdated. |
