Question
Mrvfone
Hello,
Just wanted to add a sticky note to this section, I`m not having a go at anyone, But i think this needs to be said espicaly for new people thinking about buying cheap boards that don`t work and want to repair them.
Generally arcade boards arn`t cheap to repair!!!
If you buy a non-working board from e-bay for $30.. You may have to spend that again just getting it to work or even trying to diagnose it.. And i`m not including the hours of time this might take!
Unless you have a stash of old boards you can grab parts off, Parts will have to be bought new, Sometimes they can only be sourced from the US. This can get expensive and time consuming as you can see.
I`m not putting anyone off :)... I have helped new people get into it and still help new people... But i think it`s a common misconception that they are easy and cheap to fix.
Can an admin make this sticky as i don`t think i have permissions to do it.
Thanks,
Mrv.
