Moonwalker pcb resurrection

[Laschek]

I didn't say it's too expensive, I just mentioned I would have offered it for half the cost if I knew which Roms I need (SegaRessurection do not necessarily need to encrypt them by themselves if the bootleg versions work, though I'm not sure about this in this case).
But thinking about it: I personally wouldn't even pay $40 for a working original Moonwalker or any other Sega System 18 PCB, so yeah, it's too expensive

I could have ordered a ressurection set for my Shinobi PCB and pay $40. But I took an ordinary Z80 CPU (costs just a few bucks, I think I took one from a parts board) and reburned two Eproms. Voilà. If I didn't already have a programmer I would have asked someone to do it for me, there are quite a lot of people in the community who are able to do this.

But to each his own. I on one hand can't & don't want to spent more money than necessary plus I prefer to tinker around with stuff myself than just buy it. Anyway, do what you like, I don't care

You must be right, but as I'm an electronic noob, this was the easiest and fastest option.
Unfortunately I don't know anyone here in Hungary who can burn eproms, even don't have the files for it and if I add all costs together(parts, shipping, packing, etc.) from Europe, it's almost the same price if I ask somebody from here to make it.
I'm planning to learn everything about eprom programming, there are a lot of guys here with pcb problems, my beloved hobby could be my second job!
Btw I sell a BOOTLEG!!! Moonwalker pcb for 200 Usd this year, so I don't think the original one's value is less.

HUH !? That's a shitload of money....

Everything about MJ this year has been gold. 200$ for a bootleg, that's crazy good deal belike ^^

going from an electro noob to a guy who knows everything about eprom programming is a gigantic undertaking - good luck!

Any news about your kit Bela  ?
I sent to us an email about a week ago for a kit, but no news.

I had good experiences with that guy, he was very kind and shipping didn't last longer than a week.
As I remember, I've also waiting more than a week for his responses, keep him posting!
About my pcb, I made a very silly and noob mistake.
Here is the kit:

Compared with the old pieces:

Everything swapped in order:

And fingers crossed..............................fu...ing same result than earlier:

I turned the pcb than to solder side, that I didn't check earlier, cause I focused on the suicide battery area:






Looks great, eh?
The damage is not on the other side of the suicide battery area, it could be damaged by something else!
What do you think guys, is there any hope to fix this nightmare?
I would really like to fix this one  for the memory of Michael jackson!  
Edit:It has "only" one acid damage area, pics made from 3 directions

[Superully]

ouch!

Thanks for the feedback Bela  .
About your pcb, well ... a lot of stuff  .

[Laschek]

Clean it thoroughly with white vinegar and a brush. Then wash the vinegar residues away with alcohol.
This at least gives you  a proper look at the PCBs traces to examine the damage there.
Maybe you're lucky and this will be enough, but it looks pretty nasty.

I've got a reply today  : transaction in progress (Super Monaco GP pcb).
