I should just sell this &!%^@ thing!!!!

Had a friend over tonight to see the latest stuff in the basement. Fire up Roadblasters, Pac Man and the Megatouch. Roadblasters was the one he went to. Played fine for about 10 seconds, then no steering at all. I have a spare control panel I tossed in, and still, no steering.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

This was an issue when I got it but I thought it was fixed. It worked great every day for a month until someone came over to see it. Now where do I look?


Oh yeak, my Black Knight locked up on him too. Something that has not happened in 6 months either.

Guess I should never invite him over again!

>:-(

I am ventimg more than anything. Time to drink.

Check the connectors. I don't know if it's a common problem but my RB had that kind of issue and it turned out the pins in the connectors were flared, thus too loose and not making a good connection.

I will look into that tomorrow (when I am not aggrivated or drinking).

Thanks,

Yeah... the connectors used on System 1 pcbs suck. I have to dink around with mine to get the different controls to work each time I change out the boards.
 
Chris check the connector at the top of the board, pull it out and reseat it. That happened once to me about a year ago. That is all it was. You should not have to change the control panel out. This should be a 5 second fix.
