PCB problem

Tech Talk
1

so i have a third party beatmania IIDX Arcade Style Controller i bought it second hand in 2007, but until now the PCB for the keys has completely died on me but the turntable still responds…

any suggestions?

2

Who made it? Is it a Official ASC? or is it a DAO or something?

it’s a Desktop Arcade Controller

DASC’s i believe are made from 1st party controllers using some sort of wacky hack. if I had to guess, I’d say just something mundane like the ground wire came un attached from the rest of the PCB.

I’d suggest though you ask on BemaniStyle or around VJ ARMY’s boards. You’ll probably get better results.

not terribly helpful, what about the other side where the wires meet the board?

also, do you have a multimeter? This would make things infinitely easier.
