Hey guys,
I just picked up a 4-board TKG2 board set and when I plugged it in it was all crazy so I reseated all the ROMS & connertors and now it looks pretty good except there are NO characters visable at all .Also the first barrel that DK throws, the one that lights off the oil barrel, that's missing too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, ERIC

I'm not 4 board savy - however on a 2 board version missing sprites is usually indicative of a bad LS139 or MC10125 on the video board.
 
OK, ordered a logic probe.
The Radio Shack near me carries NOTHING! Unless you need 76 different styles of cell phones cases and/or chargers.

I also was able to get invisable Mario onto the second set of girders where the hammer is and as soon as I did that there was a bunch of blocky graphics...that mean anything to anybody?

Thanks, ERIC
 
OK,
I got a logic probe and I tested the LS139 on the Video board and found 3 open circuits on it.

Does that indicate a bad chip?
