Scrambled video? Does the game seem to play otherwise? Sounds like a monitor issue.
And I hope that metal switch doesn't always just lie against the board like that...
Battery date is 1992. Guess it not good.
Bringing this back from the dead. I have one of these with a similar problem and am pretty confident it's the battery. But I can't find a manual anywhere for this game. Does anyone know what kind of battery I need or how many VDC it should be reading? I am also wondering if I could just disable the charging circuit somehow and just remote an alkaline battery?
Pretty sure it's the battery. If I poke at it with a multimeter while the game is on it will boot up, then freeze up again when said multimeter is removed. Very strange. 3.6v you say? Now I am thinking a standard cordless phone battery might do the trick. Currently reading 0.8v so it needs to be replaced either way. Already checked all connections and voltages at the power supply, everything checks out.
The battery just says 84-07 JAPAN on it. I removed the wrapping to find it's actually 3 small cells linked together. Google has no clue on this one. It seems to be the same type & size found on an MCR power supply and I know for certain that a cordless phone battery works as a good substitute in that application, and most poker boards I have seen with a battery attached are generally rated at 3.6v. Anyone see a reason why it wouldn't work here? If not, that's my next step.
