Hi. I guess my Saturn mobo has a micro crack somewhere 
. The problem is that the image is flickering and with the help of SSF I have deduced that the layer that is suffering from this issue is sprites one. This has to be some kind of micro-crack as applying pressure on the pcb helps. What is more cooling it down makes things worse whereas heating it up stops the flickering. The crack is most probably located somewhere near ne motorola cpu. My question is: where to look for the defect? And also, how many layers the saturn main pcb has? Any infowould be helpful, as now it is like looking for a needle in hay. I'll try to post a 'screenshot' later. Greets and thanks in advance.
