Have an event this weekend and was testing out my DarkSoft CPS2 setup.
I am getting a red screen with no sound when I boot it up.
Swapped out CRTs and used an MVS board to rule out supergun or pvm.
I did a quick google search and most of the stuff that came up was suicide board. That shouldnt be an issue with DS correct?
So does that mean my A board is dead?

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated
Im about to call it a night but will work on it later during the day.

Thanks
 
My Darksoft CPS2 sometimes gives a brown screen on boot, it's always the A & B boards not connected correctly. Try removing and reseating a few times, pushing down etc.
 
I usually get sound and/or distorted graphics if the A/B arent seated correctly.
This is the first time ive ever gotten a solid red screen.
Picking up a new SD card on my way home today.
Then plan to
-Clean sockets with Deoxit
-Reseat Dark Soft boards
-Short EXC5 Cap
-Try new SD card
