im trying to help someone repair his centipede that currently doesnt work and am kind of at a loss on where to go from here. i checked the game out last week, and everything looked ok. it powers up, but the 1 and 2 player start buttons are solid instead of flashing (its on free play) and whenever either one is pushed, there is a high pitched screech that comes from the speaker. the voltages on both the pcb and the ar boards check out. i thought it was a board issue, so i took it home and threw it in my centipede, only to discover that it works without any problems. any suggestions?
 
Slam switch?

Sounds like a symptom of the slam switch on the coin door being closed...? I know that is a problem on Dig Dug sometimes...perhaps on Centipede as well?

I may have a similar problem as well. Mine just shows a yellow screen, i get the solid P1 and P2 buttons, and it beeps at me when I move the roller ball.

A buddy of mine is going to test my PCB this week, I'll know if its a PCB issue or not!
