Could you tell me what the pinout on the Competition port is? I have heard rumors that IFI uses a serial interface; just curious if there were pins going to a UART or something.

You could try booting it up with an oscilloscope on each of those pins and see if they are even active or not. Maybe they're just for future expansion, and the software doesn't even use them right now.

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
