    SOLD - PARTS Original Ms Pacman PCB in good condition, fast chip $100 shipped

    Anyone who is looking for a Pac Man / Ms Pac Man PCB, this a great price shipped. If you want to convert it to Pac Man, it's only a couple of chips to swap and it's still a genuine board. I honestly do not know this person nor was I asked to write this. Just passing this along as I repair...

    Solved

    I brought the board to work with me and put it on my PC power supply with a different header and the chip is "normal" temp now. I will have to reexamine my test rig at home, but at least it rules out the board :)

    pac-man with no video or sound

    You probably recapped the 7-8 big ones. The caps I'm talking about are the tiny guys. Theres.like 25 of those. I think it's an ic anyways.

    pac-man with no video or sound

    I have about 4 boards doing the same thing. My assumption is there is a component that has failed and is shorting out the board. If i put my meter on continuity and probe both sides of one of those little caps leading to the rails, say Cp 6, 9 or 16, the meter just continually rings. If I put...

    RESOLVED: Galaga issue

    Update: problem solved. I must have had the power up too much. I brought the board to work and used a pc desktop power supply and at least got the screen below. This chip is the Galaga enhancement kit so that's why it displayed that message. Got home plugged it back into my test bench and sure...

    RESOLVED: Galaga issue

    RESOLVED: Galaga issue

    I took every chip off of 2 other non working boards and swapped chips one at a time. My guess at this point is sockets or another parts like caps have died. I hope its.not sockets.

    RESOLVED: Galaga issue

    Just tried, no. No response at all. I dont know Galaga boards like I know Pacman boards, so I am unsure of the cap readings. From what I read on the meter so far, everything looks ok there (famous last words!)

    RESOLVED: Galaga issue

    I had my Galaga machine on for a few hours. When I came back in the room the screen was frozen. I powered it off and turned it back on and now only only get this screen. I removed every socketed chip and cleaned all the pins. Reinstalled the chips, removed and reinstalled the ribbon cable. I...
