CPearson87 | 4 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Please help, I am looking for someone that does soldering repairs, I sent out my neo geo aes to have a unibios installed and it came back non-functional as the person lifted a few pads off. Is there anyone else that offers a soldering service to do some jumpers from the chip to the trace? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,569 Editorials Team · Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I've done that kind of thing, but I've never worked specifically with the neo geo aes. So I can reconnect tricky broken traces if you don't find anyone else, but I'd struggle to do any troubleshooting beyond that if it still doesn't work.

a3quit4s | 4,097 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 @Nes Freak does virtual boy repairs and I can vouch for his work, not sure about Neo Geo though. The soldering required for the virtual box fixes is S tier stuff though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nes Freak | 584 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 took me 4 hours to figure out what the heck was broken on this crappy mod job. the wire on the bios chip is temporary i will replace it with something much cleaner looking. there were 3 broken traces and solder bridges everywhere! cleaning up the mess took me about an hour and 1/2 after that i looked every thing over under my microscope and found a bad trace and fixed it. the other two traces were under the bios chip and i couldnt see it so i had to buzz the board to find those. what a mess! that guy that did this job doesn't need to do mod work, jeez! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPearson87 | 4 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Just thought I'd update this thread with good news. I received my system back today from @Nes Freak and it works good as new again. Thank you so much, it means the world to me. I'm finally able to play my favorite game again 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
