Hey all,
A long shot, however, I am hoping someone has some pointers for me in fixing my SC-3000H.
I received it with no accessories / untested and so assumed some issues would be present. I'm using a nice PSU, and built an AV cable and this cartridge:
This thread let me know the 2 repeating beeps may be the on-board RAM. I replaced it, but I'm still getting the same. https://www.smspower.org/forums/14114-ReplacementEdgeConnectorForSC3000CartSlot
5V checks out at 5.01 at the 74HCT IC on the cartridge.
Is it possible the wrong ROM image could cause this? if I press "reset" it will at least display the BASIC Boot screen, and reports something silly like 500 free bytes. Trying to RUN anything though results in just garbage scrolling on the screen for a few moments. If I run 'NEW' and then RESET it only reports about 2K of free RAM. I tried a couple good SRAM IC's on the BASIC Level III Cartridge, so I don't think it's them.
Any pointers or ideas appreciated
