Missile Command

[Muerto]

Well, brought it into the shed yesterday, and powered it up...
Tested 3 MC PCB, and this is the best result any of them could deliver:



Any idea what could be wrong (PCB was bought as working from World Of Lies...)

[level42]

Did you run test-mode ?

[Superully]

do you at least get this "promising" result with the pcb from world of lies? perhaps it's the other board inside the cabinet that's not working properly ...

[Muerto]

i measured the voltage on the aux board, and they all was inside the limit....
and, test mode, where do i see if it´s on??

[liquidx]

The test switch should be on the left just inside the coin door, near the volume adjust. I think US cabinets have a different one, but its close by, on the back of the coin door maybe?

Or someone could have taken it out, which happened to me once

[Muerto]

just tried re-positioning the test switch without any action at all, i don´t think it´s connected... 
I will look further into this later, i´m way to drunk atm to do anything usefull!!!  ... it´s tha germans fault! DAMN you ully

I wouldn't worry about that, when the PCB doesn't work chances are the test mode doesn't work either  

Have you reseated all the socketed chips? Cleaned the edge connector and checked it for burnt pins (very common on Atari games that use the ARII Audio/Regulator Boards)?.

If you have a test rig/super gun/etc. I suggest making a basic Jamma Adapter (+5V & Video) to rule out power brick and ARII as the delinquents...

[Muerto]

Finally, got some time to get a look at this....
Reseated all the chips.... and...





Now, there´s clearly something wrong with the monitor... to much red in there!!...
Have tried to adjust it without any luck.... ully???

Oh, and the bright spot on the monitor is from a speaker (magnet  )

andré?

at least the pcb is working!

[Muerto]

bit slicer on KLOV might think he have a solution to the red screen.... - fingers crossed!

[Muerto]

A big thanks goes out to IronGiant!!! - he just fixed my MC PCB!!!! Horray!!!!!

[Superully]

congrats, michael! now all you need to do is remove those nasty scratches on the bezel and adjust the monitor and of course: play the sh** out of it!!!

[Muerto]

regarding the scratches, i think it would be easier to buy another one, coz damn those are deep!

i bet stefan scratched something in there like "don't trust world of lies"
