I have just recently joined this site so I apologize in advance if many of these questions are really basic.
As part of a new years resolution promise to my son Luke (6yrs old) I told him we would either fix or trash a Frogger arcade game I picked up for cheap from my aunt in law when they were doing an estate sale for a friend who passed away.
Anyways this is what I can figure out. Please correct anything I may have wrong.
1) The case is a Stern Electronics, but Stern Electronics never made a frogger game.
2) When I figured out how to take it apart I found info and tags for a game called "Super Cobra" which Stern did make so I'm assuming it was a retrofit.
Issues I have:
1) I have no idea what boards or parts were used in this unit.
2) The case had sound for about the first 5 minutes it was powered up. Then nothing. I
measured the speaker and it came in at 6 ohms (correct) and when I measured RMS AC voltage it seem to go up down like there was something there. When I looked at the speaker it looked okay.
3) The color on the screen is not black and I think some of the other colors are wrong.
4) After the screen is on for awhile it gets lines and sometimes the screen flashes intermittently.
Anything anyone can help me and my son work on this would be a great help! Thanks!
