I had a working dig dug until I went to install the freeplay roms
in. Unfortunately the freeplay roms wouldnt work.. it kept indicating Rom
3 bad so I replaced the original roms. Unfortunately now I just get a
scrambled mess on the screen. I checked for bent pins and cleaned them..

Anyone do dig dug board repair? Please PM me.

Thanks,

Try replacing the socket.
 
Are you installing the "Jeff's ROMHACK" freeplay roms? If so, make sure you have a revision 1 rom set in the board already. (136007-101, 102, 103, etc.) If you have rev 2 set (136007-201, 202..), the freeplay roms won't work and will generate a "ROM 3" error.

I've had to replace 4 or 5 sockets on my dig dug board. They don't take kindly to rom swaps after all these years.
