/vr/ - Retro Games

I've had like a royally fucked Sega CD for years, but I'm so far into the 'poorer than dirt' category I can barely do jack shit anymore.

>fuse blew sometime in the past
>previous owner removed fuse, didn't replace it, but bridged the gap with solder

Now I got it, removed the solder, replaced the fuse, removed random blobs of solder bridging several legs on small ICs, stripped it down and oven-baked the fucking thing because I'm too lazy to reflow anything, and it still never worked.

Then I noticed this little fucker literally exploded. No clue what it is, other than a general description for the chip, which is a SRAM/Logic IC power supply controller. I've since removed it, hoping to replace it at some point, but I fucked that up as 3 pads on the board were pulled up with it.

What do I fucking do at this point? I know replacement chips are dirt cheap, but I can barely afford even that.
