When there's only a couple objects on the screen, like 1 or 2 small asteroids, the spot killer on my Asteroids starts to kick in and the screen blanks out momentarily. Firing some missiles will give it enough to draw to come back on, as will playing a 2 player game since it has to draw the 2nd player score, etc.

Anyone ever seen this before? It's got the updated ROM with the copyright text at the bottom, which was my first thought.

TIA!
 
Sounds like it is time to start recapping and checking cold solder points. Have you done any work on your board or monitor? Do you have an 801 or 802 vector?
