I just picked up a BZ and need some assistance getting it back up and running.
When the game is turned on the +5v LEDs on the boards are red, the start button and marquee lights up, the monitor LED is on and the monitor has neck glow but no game sounds or display on the monitor.
I tested voltage at the test points on the board and the AR and they look good. I pulled the game boards, pulled the ribbon cable and re-soldered the header pins. I also hit the pins with a wire brush as well as the edge connectors on the harness.
What next? I heard that this game is notorious for crappy sockets. Is it ALL sockets or just certain ones (ie. 18pin, 24pin, etc)? I guess my next step would be to reseat the ICs. Any other ideas?
