Re: GDRom controller board 'Capacitor' has blown....how to ident

Hmm, unlike any controller board I've seen. What model is your dreamcast?

I've never heard of this problem either. Why do you keep putting capacitor in quotes? There is a common problem with the resistor blowing on the controller board, is that what you mean?

Maybe somenoe else can be of more help.

Hmm, I think if there was some pattern it would have looked nicer. Theres something about it right now that stirs up a strange, acute fondness in me. However, overall its pretty ugly.

From what I hear cases with lcd displays built in are rare and expensive. Finding one that meets your specifications would be even harder. If I were you I'd get out the dremel and start working :)

Sorry I couldn't help, but good luck in your search.

You should be able to just heat up the solder and then pull out the LED while its still liquid. If that doesn't work than the problem is probably deeper than your soldering...

I believe those were made by LanDC of http://www.shenmuedojo.net

If I remember correctly he just had to swap the models, not complicated.

I don't know of any shops, someone else might though.

Honestly just painting isn't that hard. If you really don't think you can manage than try just taking the top off and painting that first. That way you can leave all the components in place, snazz up your dc, and maybe gain some confidence.

C'mon! Just telling him to get a new one isn't in the spirit of these forums! Lets try to help the guy fix his dc!

That being said, I think your best bet is to buy a new dreamcast.

Need some electronics help.

I realise that this has little to do with dreamcast's but this is the only forum I know where there are some people who really know their stuff. Im building (sort of) a clock. I'm using the timer from an old one that took apart. I was planning on using using my own LEDs and making my own display, bu...

Well, seems like it could be possible, and quite rewarding. The only problem I see is human error. Thats quite a circuit and quite small contacts on the motherboard for somebody who has never touched a soldering iron before, especially if you plan on making it internal. But best of luck, hopefully t...
