Broken Red Octane Afterburner

Mr. Ninja · 08-31-2009, 02:47 PM

yeasterday I went to my basement to play some good ol DDR and my red octane after burner crapped out on me. I turned my PS2 on and put Extreme 2 in and none of the buttons were working except the up arrow and the control box. I've had it for almost 2 years so I'm pretty sure its out of its warranty by now so I figured I'd just fix is myself but I have no idea where to start. PLEASE HELP ME!!! Just give me some ideas on what might be wrong with it and how I can fix it.

Thanks!

This happened to my og red octane back in the day, except it didn't last quite as long. I couldn't figure out how to disassemble it and I sure as hell wasn't going to pay shipping on it back to RO, so I just said fuck it and played arcade only.

It's possible that the contacts are broken/torn, since IIRC they simply used copper sheets as contacts. Try to break it open and let us know what you find out.

I did, but I was drunk and thought he meant a cobalt flux

is the afterburner a 12 pin connector to the control box?

I already took all the panels off and the contacts are fine

I think its a 9 pin connecter?
