Tilt:
I saw this post from a few months back. I am having issues with sound on my GK044. I suspect the sound card is going out and would like to replace for testing since it's a lot easier to replace this PCB than an 044 board. You know who I can ask to see if they have one for sale? I saw a schematic/wiring diagram for the P19 connector from a post by DanTheMan, but my connector is a 4 pin connector, not an eight pin connector. I've enclosed some pictures.
The issue I'm having is:
If I turn the machine on, and I get sound, it’s good as long as I keep the machine on. But there is no sound off the left speaker. Right speaker and center speaker are good. I already tested the left speaker, it works when crossed with the right connector. So I’m assuming, it’s not getting a signal from the board.
If I don’t get sound when turned on, I have to turn off the machine and turn it back on. Sometimes it takes 2x, 3x, or 4x before the sound comes back on. No pattern.
Thanks
