Sega Dreamcast Ascii Pad FT - broken rumble

Post by bobrocks95 »

Anybody have one of these, or generally tested a broken rumble motor before? It's got two wires that seem to go directly into an IC I can't find a datasheet for. There's a diode on the board nearby as well that could be related, but I'm just guessing. I know the Dreamcast likes to blow that fuse on its controller board if you hotplug controllers, don't know if that can damage the controllers themselves or not.

Any simple way I can go about testing the motor itself to see if it's just dead?
