Burn Test 2

12 Jun 2012 Filed in: Missile Command | 1980 | Atari

Ok, new burn test, new board was hoping for no glitches. WRONG!

Started at 10:30, by 2:30 it was making noises and flashing video. This was much worse and more spectacular of a fail. It burned two memory chips. RIP J4 and H4.

I ran the Missile Command for 3 hours and it started making the Alien Ship noise for no reason. That is a FAILED burn test! Not happy with my board repair guy right now. I will probably recap the AR-II for safety’s sake, but I had 4.9 V.

Cost: 2 man hours
