turned my game on tonight and the thrust sound was stuck on and nothing else, spot killer was on, opened up the back of the game as soon as i touched the board the game booted up and the spot killer went out, game played fine, this is not the first time this happened. any thoughts?
 
Try cleaning the legs of and reseat the socketed roms. If the problem happens again, replace the sockets. They are a known failure point. Alternative is to obtain a Braze Technologies high score save kit. It eliminates the need for the ROMS as the onboard memory contains the game code along with some enhancements. For $45 bucks you can't go wrong and no desoldering / soldering is necessary. Here is the link:
