Re: Falcon maintenance: Phantom&CT60e

Yes,… I have to take a step back and check a lot of things first: Nvram tracks, sram, all Phantom connections,…it will take me a while.

Re: Falcon maintenance: Phantom&CT60e

No, it isn’t. It is soldered to a wire that goes to the SV. It is an optical effect. It doesn’t touch the heatsink.

Re: Falcon maintenance: Phantom&CT60e

Wires rechecked and resistor installed. But the noise in SDMATEST remains the same. BadMood makes a lot of noise............................. I have taken the CT60e out of the Falcon, the PicoPSU too and replaced it with the original Falcon PSU....The boot screen is blue with the letters and logo in...

Re: Falcon maintenance: Phantom&CT60e

Once in Desktop, SDMATEST makes noise when pressing play. Which tests can I run to see if it works all OK? The demos I tried, worked OK. Gembench 6 in...

Yes, sorry. I made a quick test on all 4 levels (030, Phantom, 060, SV) and messed it all, but I would like to start from 030 and then the following one by one.

For now I am just running the test cartridge and I will focus on 030 mode to detect any failure there.

Re: Falcon maintenance: Phantom&CT60e
