Second attempt at fixing Dreamcast

Ok, the next thing to try was re-seating the power supply. This involves removing the PSU board, cleaning it and putting it back.

It was in pretty good condition in there, so that wasn't the problem. This repair is used for Dreamcasts that reset themselves, which is not the problem for me, so I was doubtful this would fix it.
Next thing to try is stripping the whole thing down and making sure there are no dry solder joints around the video out area. I hope there are, because that would mean the problem was there the whole time!

As soon as I can fix this thing, or at least exhaust all my ideas, I will start working on repairing N64 control sticks.
