I recently had a bad ram 3 on a galaxian so i piggybacked 2 2101s from another board to fix the board so i bought 2 new 2101s now the board works but I get graphics glitches with the new ram. Are there compatibility issues with 2101s or did I get a bad one?
The board works fine with originals off another galaxian board. I spose I should swap one at a time and see what happens.

Every single Galaxian board I have bought is different in some way.

You need to check the traces very close and you might look at the speed of the chips also.

These don't even look like Galaxian board set but may be good for parts....

Ive got a galaxian board I've been scavenging things off of I just only have 1 board with socketed 2101s so they became the test chips. I didn't look that closely at the ones i took off the board I just assumed 2101s were the same.
 
Looks like I just got a bad new chip. One works good the other flakes out when you start a game. Thats what I get for only ordering the quantity that I need...

I always try to buy extra, espically ram chips. They come in handy for piggy back suspect ram chips. Espically on the boards you don't own yet :).
 
PM me, I will send you a couple replacements. I have sold around 100 of these from the same batch and used some myself with no reported problems. Anyways, hit me up and I will get you all squared away.

This is why I asked. :D

I knew it wasn't me as I hadn't sold any of those lately... but if you were dealing with a forum member I knew you'd get taken care of.
