During play there is a scribble of of lines that move back and forth at the very top. What is the deal with my game. Please help.

Answer
Gday Darryl,

Could be a be a ROM problem or more than likely a power problem going to your PCB.

I would firstly check all the ROM make sure they are inserted correctly and not loose.

(Link to an upgrade manual with shows you the chips better. Even remove them and put them back in.)

Disconnect and reconnect the main harness from the PCB. Maybe even clean the contacts on the PCB. (Not if there is any burn marks or anything out of place)

Finally you probably have to get hold of a multimeter and double check the voltages going off to the PCB. Maybe the 5V or 12V is alittle off causing the PCB to act funny.

Hope this helps.
