Picked up my first Gorf earlier today. The guy I bought it from was a non-techie and basically said that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but "this it what it's doing now". A screen came up with many squares with GAME OVER across the top, and when I move the joystick or push any of the buttons on the control panel different squares blink. He indicated that he looked at the boards and everything looked OK but he had no idea what he was looking at (I say this meaning that he may have messed with dip switches).

My first instinct was to reseat the chips, but after a quick search around the forum it appears this may be the test screen? I toggled the test mode switch in the coin box and nothing happens. Should I be looking at replacing that switch (and if so, any ideas where I might find one?) or should I be looking at something else? Just looking for some kind of starting point.

Attached is a picture of the screen - thanks!!
