My Journey was working 100% and today it started getting strange sprite issues on all the band members faces with some other peoples faces I've never seen weird, and a couple other sprite issues on game play graphics. - #1 pcb issue

So I pulled out that pcb and put in my 2nd pcb back up and tested it, graphics are fine on it, but the sound on left speaker has a static screeching sound that comes off and on - #2 pcb issue

any help on either pcb?

thank you
 
Probably a stupid question, but how are your interconnect cables? Those frequently present as an issue. If you have new ones of those, then I'd try the obvious reseating of the chips. If that still doesn't fix it, I say send it off to cdjump...that's what I finally ended up doing with mine. That being said, I still get static screeching occasionally from my speakers...regardless if it's during the bonus round or not. It usually happens after the game's been up and running for a bit. Since my boards check out fine, I'm not sure what the issue might be...maybe some weird feedback from the cassette interface? I know that's not much help, but those are both problems I've had with my set, so it must be something relatively common.
