Set4 owners help needed

I have bought this system some time ago broken.
The hard drive was loose during shipping and as it fell it broke some components.

I would really appreciate if someone owning a set4 can take some photos of the pcbs to see whats missing,so that i can fix that beauty!

thanks

 

unfortunately, no set4 in my collection...
I hope to have one some day though...

A few months ago there was an auction for a set4 mobo... I don't remember if the pictures were of good enough quality to help you...

 

Unfortunately they were not good enough...that one went pretty high and i was hoping to get them!

 

Just had a quick look and can't see any missing components.
Looks to be a big chip in the SH-2 chip though, and some scratches near the tracks but they don't look deep.

In the final pic is two fans over the same sized heat-sinks, looks like dual CPUs like the NAOMI2 arcade system has... Could it be...?

 

the da+gdm board is identical to the set5 one, not sure if it really belongs in the set4 combo...if i remember correctly, the sh4 in this system had no cache and there are 2 powervr-like chips because early on the tile accelerator was a seperate chip.

pitsunami, i live in greece too and do dreamcast dev, if you want to you could send it over and i could try to get it working when i have time...cheers

 

Actually there are some components missing,i have them broken...

I just want a pic to verify where everything stands and if there are any missing...

Thanks mate i will see what i can do and i will contact you if anything can be done. ;-)

 

i just remembered, these are the 2 best pics i have from a set4...

 

Perfect...do you have pics of the subboard too?

 

unfortunately no, these are the best set4 pics i have in my hdd and i think i got them when a member from this board post them a long time ago...

 

Too bad the subboard is the one that has the major problem...thanks a lot vit.

 

any pics of the sub-board?

 

Set 4 owners, how many set 4 units are out there in collector's hands?

I have counted 2 at the moment, including the one mentioned in this thread and another one on another thread.

Any more out there?

 

I don't have a set 4 but I do keep a lot of images over the years that I find interesting, hopefully this will help

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

Awesome! This is an example of a great use of bumping old threads!
Such beautiful looking hardware too!
Thanks for the pictures! :smile-new:

 

You are very welcome!!! Kudos to the person who took these pictures in the first place. BTW I posted them in their original resolution, so it's safe for anyone to back them up

 

Thanks a lot for the pics but actually the damage is on the one pcb that
is not pictured!

Anyway after some time from my thread
i bought another set4, perfect this time and i can now fix this one!

If anyone needs any other pics let me know.

 

I don't need them, but great definition pics are always welcome, for posterity!

Btw, aren't the pics in the first post from a set5?

 

No prob,i will get some nice photos and
upload the here...

The pcb with the damage has a label
writing (as you can see in my second pic) :

Katana Set 5 DA & CDM
PC09729 Rev.C

haven't checked if its the same one with the 5.24 set.

Here are the photos of the different version
pcbs

 

Nice pics.
