Hi all,

I am troubleshooting a Donkey Kong with the following issue:

Game powers up normally, and credits fine.

When I begin to play the game I am able to move forward, but not backward. I am not able to jump either. The kicker is that when I hit the jump button the jump sound activates but Jumpman does not jump.

I am still going through all of the connections now, but I haven't seen this type of issue in a while, so any input is appreciated! Thanks
 
Looks like there a variety of little issues. May want to send the board out for work.
There's a vertical line of random characters through the right side of the screen

The walking sound doesnt work

Jump doesnt work, though the sound does.

I am able to walk forward, but one I stop, I am not able to contine walking forward, or able to do any movement.

No barrels coming down the screen.

Phew! Can anyone refer a good tech to do this work fairly quickly? Or exchange a board?

I can throw in a working DKJR board if that sweetens the deal.

Have you reseated the chips and checked the power first? Also I've used mikes arcade for a swap out before but repair can take a while.
 
I checked with Mike last week and they are backed up on repairs and have no DK boards for swaps. Sucks because mine took a dump. I talked to this guy and he seems pretty legit and he is on here, his name is Adam and his forum name is ajcrm125. I'm going to send mine out to him this week sometime.

There are a couple of guys here who can repair it. Darth, is one. Search in the tech section and you will find them.
