Something went wrong with my AX370, It doesn't run any cartridge. So, I started troubleshooting and I installed the C-BIOS and it showed no cartridge detected
When I tried to run Carnivore2 on the MSX2+ rom, it shows at booting under the MSX2+ logo that the RAM something crazy like 8770 KB !!
I checked the lines to cartridge all the way from the MSX engine but no problem in connectivity. Any other tip?
I've seen crazy numbers with memory if you have shorts on specific memory related pins/pads. I would also check with the multimeter in continuity mode if you have any shorts on the cartridge slot. Also open it and perform a inspection for rust and for anything that conducts electricity possibly stuck inside there.
If you find rust you may have tracks or contacts not working ok. Perform a cleaning on the region with a anti-rust (appropriate for electronics) solution. Depending on what you find you may need a repair/replacement of the slot or rebuild of a few tracks/pads.
Thank you for the feedback. I can read 5V and 12V just fine. I started to have problem on RAM too. I will desolder the RAM board (512KB updgrade) and see if Carnivore2 will start it. I will be able to try after few weeks. I already left home to travel overseas. I will also give the shift while booting a try.
