Ok so I am a total novice here. My Centipede cocktail's screen went wacky on me (see pic) displaying random characters in the upper 2/3's of the screen. Do i need a rebuilt board? If so is there a specific one? Otherwise the game appears to be fine.

Thanks Bill

Well, You can start out by reseating all the socketed chips. Check for corosion on the legs and in the sockets that may be causing a bad connection. I would guess the voltage going to the board from the AR is correct since part of the screen looks good but you might want to check to make sure. You may want to run it through the self test before you do anything to see if something fails to give you a starting point.
