until i can get a pc to read the diag card and give me a better idea of what's going on as rubberjonnie has suggested
must say the mega 1 version 2.1 board is a much better quality board than this one
cheers again for all the info good to know that was a factory fix guys

Yes, until you can get a diagcart running your just shotgunning and run the risk of doing more damage than good. The diagcart will make diagnosis easier and localize what needs to be fixed. Also if you can't get the diagcart output from the serial port and have a correctly configured null modem cable you can try the diagrom image which eliminates the 20 or so machine instructions it takes to get to the cartridge port. That is if you have the capability to burn a new rom(s). If you search for diagrom on the forum you'll find a number of references to the diagrom images.
