   So this red DMG doesn’t power on all the time. Sometimes it crashes during gameplay. I read that it might be due to a bad power board. I tested all the electrolytics out of circuit and they are fine. So… replacing the whole power board…? Or anything else I can check/replace?

     @thanius Tried Deoxit, moved it a bunch -- still intermittent. Seems a BIT better, but not really.

     @thanius Yeah, that's probably what I am going to do. If I knew which voltages have to be present for the device to power up properly, I could test for that.
