Hey all..I am new here and i just got into the great and fun hobby recently. I just picked this asteroids up the other day and it was working fine up until the day after i brought it home. I think i maybe know what happened but dont know how to fix it. When we loaded it into the truck the service panel dropped down and hit the floor pretty hard. The other side of the inside panel is where the cpu motherboard sits. I wonder if maybe a chip came loose..I dont know. I hae a series of small funny looking line hairs on the screen and when you hit the fire button it fires but doesnt make the pinging fire noise. AND THE * DUNT-DUNT* Jaws noise doesnt work either.. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Lauren

WOW
At least the monitor still works

A few things need to be eliminated as the cause.

Unplug and plug in all plugs

Any pins soldered on the PCB's (Joining to plugs) may now have small cracks, so re-flowing may be needed.
IC legs need cleaning with non metallic scourer pads - very carefully with the grain.

The socket to the monitor neck board may have come loose

Good luck, keep us posted.

Any questions please ask
