Hey so I've had my 4-slot work perfectly fine for the longest time, sometimes I wouldn't play it for a week or more, but I would power it on and game on it all the same with no issue.
Today I fire it up for some bday gaming and it immediately goes to a crosshatch. I tried removing all the games and selectively putting individual titles in each of the slots separately but nothing worked. I tried increasing the voltage when I found that it was below +5v this entire time (I measured +5v from the PSU but I guess it dropped under load) but that didn't work either.
I disassembled it and checked for a possible battery leak but there doesn't appear to be corrosion or acid underneath the bottom board or around the battery.
I am seriously stumped and really would appreciate some input into my problem
