New to the forum. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I recently purchased an original centipede. After playing for an hour or two straight the sound would become distorted and it started to have strange video issues. This happened each time I would play for any decent length of time - would turn off game immediately each time.
Tried to research a bit on internet and thought maybe it was related to AR2 issues and/or edge connection issues. I tried to recreate this morning and it played perfect for three hours straight. The only difference was that i had back panel off so that I could test the voltage going to main pcb. It stayed steady at 4.91 the entire time. Is it possible that i have a heat issue and having the back door off allowed it to stay cool? If so, does it make sense to leave door off and maybe install a fan?
Thanks
