Problematic ESPGaluda PCB

[goutpatrol]

So I purchased an ESPGaluda PCB back in February from Excellent Com, and up until today it was working fine. Today it was in attract mode all afternoon (as usual) and when I sat down to play it, I inserted a coin and it reset the game. So I powered the machine down and back up and tried again. I got the same thing. Thinking it could be a wiring issue, I tried ESPRade and Ibara; they both worked fine. I tried placing the ESPGaluda PCB in my other arcade cabinet, and I got the same result.

So does anyone have any ideas? I know there's not a lot of troubleshooting that can be done on a PCB, but I thought I'd ask anyways. So what's Excellent Com's return policy? I've only had the thing three months!!

Their return policy is definitely less than 3 months. Best bet would be to contact them, and they might be able to get it fixed for you, but it'll probably cost $200 +shipping (that's CAVE's standard service fee).

You could try setting the game to free play, so you won't have to insert credits.

I believe it has been noted before that holding down the insert coin button for too long will reset some Cave boards. Try just tapping the button and see if that helps at all.

Crisis averted!!

I cross-posted this question on the killercabs board, and as luck would have it, not ten days ago someone was having the exact same problem with the same game reseting in the same cab (they even tested functionality on the same board as well).

Anyways, turns out my +5V from the power supply was underpowered. Turned it up a bit and everything is working fine now. I'll have to locate my multimeter though, as the same is obviously the case in both of my arcade machines.

Glad it all worked out!
