I got a Missile Command today; it worked for 2 minutes
Before turning it on for the first time, I looked inside to make sure everything was connected. Everything looked okay so I turned it on. The attract mode came up and it looked perfect. I was about to put a quarter into it when the graphics got garbled and the screen started to roll. I turned it off and turned it back on, and it was now just a rolling white screen with a black rectangle of garbled graphics in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
The board has something from Braze which I don't know anything about, but I guess it is to allow it to play Super Missile Attack. I don't know if that thing is causing the problem or not. I reseated it (and reseated its own individual chips), along with the only other two chips on the board that were socketed, and I cleaned the card edge on the board as well as the card edge connector in the machine's wiring harness. Nothing changed.
