Violent Storm repair log

Got recently for repair this Violent Storm PCB :


Board was in good shape but completely dead, it gave nothing on screen when powered up.This Konami hardware uses a couple of custom ASICs (marked '055673' and '055555') with very fine pitch whose pins most of time lose contact from pads preventing the board from booting.Sure enough I inspected the '055555' for first:


  I found on it amost a whole row of lifted pins :


Promtly reflowed :


This made the trick!


Board risen from its grave and fully working again.Repair accomplished.
