FIREPOWER ISSUES

[Strangeways]

  Yeah problem solved....   the problem was the missing 3 balls and the reason it didnt work when i added the balls was a missing switch on the same column as the ball trough.   All the switches were tested without the playfield connected    Its always something simple i spent the afternoon buzzing out the cpu tracks and testing chips with the test rom what a wasted afternoon............

 

Don't worry - These things happen to all of us !

My son was very quick with a reply when i told him why it didnt work.

"HAAA HAAA HAAA IT WAS BECAUSE YOU HAD NO BALLS HAAA HAAA HAA"

Cheeky little shit not sure where he gets that from

Can't agree with that - the way to become a better fault finder is to do more fault finding!

I was thinking after my advise to go back with the test ROM that maybe this wasn't the highest quality advise, but at least it was cheap  .   If you can run the test modes and the game comes up in attract mode then the mpu and roms are probably all ok. Sorry about that.

 All good mate was good t get to use the test Roms again
