Fathom problem
« on: April 05, 2014, 12:11:21 PM »
Hi all, Decided its time to sell the Fathom . Turned it on this morning to play a few games and all five rollover buttons are not working. They do not register at all. Would it be switch problem or is it something worse? Cheers Les.

I'd love a Fathom but your problems maybe simple. Have you checked the fuses?

Follow the wires back
Sounds like a wire common to all switches is broken

Check the switch matrix. You will find more switches that may not work. Re seat the connectors to the MPU.

Check for broken solder joints on all the pin headers.
If you wiggle the connectors does it intemittently work?
