Ok so I have a Captain America that was working fine but now the characters have lines in them. The sound and play is fine. I have looked at the edge connector checked the roms the best I can. I dont know what it could be and I am not an expert. Any Ideas or is there anyone who can fix this or want to buy this off me?
 
It could be a few things. I'd start by buying a fiberglass pen http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3998315

Use that to clean off any oxidation on the edge connector on the board. Also, use it to clean the legs on all of the socketed chips. Only do one at a time as to not mix up the chips. Also, note the orientation of the chips as you take them out. I would also make sure the power supply is giving the board the right voltage.

Try this first, it may solve your problem. If not, then I'd check the traces on the board. After that, I'd see if someone with an EPROM burner could burn you another chip. Good luck!
