I can only move side to side, not up. I reseated the edge connector but nothing changed.

I'll try cleaning the edge connector on the PCB. It does not fit that snugly into the wiring harness.
 
Look at the pins on the optic board if you see a crack ring in the solder around the board You have a Dry joint. Reflow the connectors..

Hey if you need to isolate the problem. I got a working board that I repaired for a friend of mine. Track me down and I let you borrow it for a few days.

If you still having issues replace we can replace the input ic on the board.

Checked the optic boards - they looked fine.

However now I have another problem - the game now continuously beeps with "H" all over the screen. I am guessing this is a memory chip error. I reseated all socketed chip and still get this error. So it must be one of the soldered chips.

Anyone fix these boards? I see that bitslicer is not on here much lately so he might not be available.
 
I've fixed 5-6 centipede/millipede boards in the last 4 months, as well as wrote up a single rom hack

I have become pretty good at fixing them, however I don't have much time in the next few weeks. But I' have I think 5 centipede boards that I've fixed in that time I'd be willing to sell. $95.00 shipped (for 1 board) in the USA will send videos of it working if you'd like. Also would knock $20.00 off ($75.00 shipped) if you want to swap your broken board for a working board, shipping of your broken board to me would be your responsibility though.
