Dead Multicart

[FireTiger]

I have a dead 5200 Sean Kelly multicart (menu driven) and it looks like one of the chips heated up ... yellowed a trace to the board and sucked the sodder through the board (but is still connected).

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

(yes I'm working on the good quality pictures)

 

ok the picts are about as clear as mud (yes I tried cleaning the bottom contacts befor any of this...

 

 

but on the rear of the board from left to right, top to bottom, row two pin one is ...diffrent, yellowed...

 

on the front of the board it is still row two but its the bottom pin closest to the middle of the board (medial).

 

Any suggestions?

No, it didn't. It looks like it never had enough solder on it to begin with. But I doubt that this is the only problem. Add some more solder to it and I'll bet it still doesn't work - but if it does, there you go!

I agree with Mr Franzman, it may look different because a square pad has been used to identify pin one but from your current images I can't see anything wrong.

If you are unconvinced you can just replace the "missing" section of track by soldering a wire to the IC pin (bottom side for neatness, but either will do) and the other end into the corresponding pad where C2 should be.

hummm...when I find someone with mad skills in that kind of thing I'll try, the guy I took it to said that he didn't think it needed more solder.

 

updates when I have one.
