Williams Black Knight Game Rom needed
« on: December 06, 2013, 08:36:28 PM »
Am in need of a new game ROM for my Black Knight.
Was playing a game and the game crashed, I rebooted the game and I get 7. in the ROM test display  IC 26 Game ROM 0 Faulty
I took out the chip and found one of the legs broken.

ROM is Black Knight Rev 2.
If anyone could help me or steer me in the right direction...

Check the sponsors section.  Ken aka Skybeau or Beaky can do it for you.

For the last 10. years I have had no trouble with my Williams Black Knight till this week when the game started crashing.

I found the problem was a bad Game Rom at IC 26 on the CPU.
Unplugged the chip from the socket and found one of the legs had broken away.

With Many thanks to Ken (Skybeaux), he sent me replacement ROM for IC 26.
All went well till I checked the other Game ROM IC 14. and found the same problem, I was real careful with lifting the chips from the socket.
So now I am waiting for a replacement for IC 14 then I will be back in action.

These chips look very cheap as the legs seem brittle if I try to bend them.

Again with Many thanks to Ken (Skybeaux) I replaced the game ROMS at IC 26. and 14. on the system 7. C.P.U.
Powerd up my Black Knight and BINGO ! all is working.
I played BK solid for half hour and it did not crash or lock up.   $#$

Thanks for all the help   ^^^

Well done.

Black Knight is a top game.
+1
and has high significance in pinball history. This is the pinball title which battled it out with video in the arcades and won in takings for the operators.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
