Title: System 1 with Pascal 4 in 1 board random issues
Post by: Brettski on June 18, 2016, 09:40:03 PM

Hi all,
I moved my Cleopatra today into another room and when I turn it on it randomly jumps around in the settings without actually pressing the settings button.
It has a Pascal 4 in 1 board but I am assuming something is shorting somewhere , can't see anything and wondering if anyone had any idea where to start.

Cheers Brettski... :)

Ok found the tilt bob had stuck and was touching the whole time so I sorted that out, now it turns on ok without ramdomly going into the settings but you cannot get into settings or start a game. Any thoughts, help really appreciated.

Cheers: Brettski... :)

I wonder if the random jumping around changed some setting? Never had a Pascal go bad on me so no idea, other than possibly doing a factory reset if possible??

Hmmm. Wiggling fix usually means time to repin connectors if they were not previously done. Fundamental to System 1 and 80 reliability.
