Thank you sir.

Done. View: https://youtu.be/b65ZdMt08JU

Damn no one ever really answered this... Well no matter anyways, I tried another chassis we got for cheap but that didn't work either. Thought it was the tube so we got a donor TV to transplant. Day of the transplant I tested the tube with a BK 490 and the tube was good aside from a bad green...

So I have a revision D cpu cart with the same symptoms and I replaced all the same things I replaced on this card and it still won't fire up at all, with that one I suspect the oscillator. @Darksoft do you have any of the oscillator you use on the repro carts left? I would not mind buying one...

Ok stole the CPU from a dead Saturn and reprogrammed the flash to ultra standard sh2 and we back in business. If you have a cart that won't revive check the nand chips or the CPU. View: https://youtu.be/WmVJp9X3ocw?si=P9qYf3oqqDPA5GN9

Got a parts Saturn here gonna steal one of the CPU put it in the cart and see tonight.

Not yet I took off the two main program roms from the mainboard but none of my programmers work with it, gonna go to my friend's place soon and use his programmer.

Swapped out the second nand gate IC and same thing I am definitely suspecting the CPU or the oscillator View: https://youtube.com/shorts/yBRna_qKFa0?si=1a6Eklle8dkE09sj

Wires are good. Any idea where I can purchase the oscillator? I know they have to be available since the repro cart use them.

Got this new generation cart I was converting for a friend that won't boot. At first it would do nothing, after I reflowed the CPU it seemed like it was trying to boot but would reset. Now I had ordered the two nand gate chips, I received one and swapped it and now it doesn't reset but just...

All I got after all that patch work cart port and CCU replacement.

Patch work and I even swapped the CCU but nothing yet, that's why I decided to go with the plan B board lol.

Some pictures of the corrosion I found on the original board and how I patched it up..

I got spare PPU might try a transplant sometime.

I had put a lot of time and made progress but decided to set it aside for the time being. I came across another board for cheap that was gonna be my plan B in case I could not get @dsx606 original board going. Turns out plan B was more of a pain to get going than the original, after a few weeks...
