Hi,
I purchased a couple of I-Games with 3902 boards and trays a short while back (Texas Tea and Catch a Wave) and the programs are now (thanks to Buzz) both working properly. When I received the games, they were both installed on the boards so I just pulled out the existing tray and replaced it with the newly purchased game, board and tray. As I flipped on the power button, (with my finger still on the switch) I heard a sound as if something fried and instantly turned the machine off. It couldn't have been more than 1/2 of a second that the power was on. I smelled burning and was convinced I fried the machine but I put the old tray in and fired it up and it was as if nothing happened. I have since used the other new board and tray I acquired without incident but am terrified to try the tray that made the sound and burning smell.
I've inspected the board and cleaned it well and see nothing visually that is an issue. It was dusty when I received it and I should have cleaned it before putting it in but in my excitement to play the new game, I didn't.
I guess my questions are... should I try it again or is there a way to test it first? Will it destroy software if I try it again and it does have a problem? Will it hurt other parts of the machine if it in fact has an issue with the board?
Convoluted I know but hopefully someone has some insight.
Thanks, Jim
