Re: Asteroids losing voltage

I didn't suggest that you disable the sense. I think you need to replace the regulator :) Someone else suggested disabling the sense. Of course, the sense seems to do more harm than good. I've seen so many Atari boards that have had the +5 and/or +sense wires soldered directly to the board because the edge connector was burnt to a crisp. I've seen a lot of Pole Positions like this.

>Thanks Jon. Will go do that right now. Just so I am clear on this, you want me to wire the sense line directly to the +5VDC so that it thinks it has +5 on the board and does not increase the voltage? No need to answer unless I have this screwed up. A no answer will mean "ya dummy... you want a picture!" ;-) Thanks again, Dean
