Hi Guys,

For some reason the Q*Bert Character on my game is gone. I removed all the chips and cleaned them and reseated them, still not working.

Here is a video i posted on Youtube, for some reason you can't see anything unit 10 second mark or so but it does show that Q*Bert is missing while in game mode.

Thanks for the help,

Are all of your voltages in check?
weird shit happens when the game gets hot, or the numbers are too high.

And from my experience you need to check the voltages immediately when something is going wrong.

I have had the game go back and forth, where it had good voltages and performed normally, then when it
started to freak out, there was a spike.

Yes, sorry i should have said that i checked all the voltages and they are fine. When i try to turn the 5v up at the power supply the strange thig is it won't go past 5.1 but that should be ok?
 
I worked on it again last night but still having the same issue. Has anyone purchased one of those new Q*Bert power supplys?
 
When you guys are talking on the video, someone keeps saying "no he's not there" right after he shows up for a second.

My guess is a flaky socket in the FG ROMs.

Was the guy in the back of the game pushing on the chips during that video? It showed Q*bert occasionally, if that corresponded with him pushing on that chip, then it's time for a new dual wipe socket.

By the way, the Gottlieb sockets tend to suck so I wouldn't go deeper into the logic until I replaced those.

Hi Mike,

My buddy was pushing on the chips during the video but for what ever reason you can see the characters in the middle of the screen regardless if he is pushing on them or not. Where do i get a the FG ROMs?

Thanks,
