Battle Garegga boot faults - fixed.

[system11]

So I had the opportunity to study a particularly stubborn Battle Garegga board, and the boot problems you may have read about elsewhere or even experienced yourself, can now be a thing of the past:

How fussy the chips on your board vs your specific PSU will define how often this happened if at all. This fix banishes the problem, I've now done two of them and both are solid as a rock on the cab they hated. One has gone from total refusal to boot on my New Net City, the other was just very unreliable on it.

Also Raizing are dumb.

Ha! This probably explains why my Sorcer Striker is so fussy on boot. Should any 10uf/16v cap work?

Yes, but a tantalum is harder to damage, smaller, and will never leak.

I couldn't find a really good photo but it looks like the 3771 is near the 68k and there's a capacitor just above it, you'll need to check it's doing what it does on Garegga of course.
