When i stole this thing at the auction, it was pretty much dead. The AR board was toast and the pcb was no better. I just got my board back and i've half assed thrown this thing together and it is working but here's my question:

When you move the thruster forward, i can hear the thrusting sound but it's not real loud. The same goes for when you crash, it isn't real loud either. When you're low on fuel, it beeps and this is plenty loud along with any beeping in test mode. Should the thrusting and crashing be just as loud as everything else? I really haven't even begun to restore this, it was just thrown together, i'm just glad the power brick and monitor are working.

Your Beeping when you are running or out of fuel will be loader than the crashing and thrusting sounds but you still should hear those other sounds loud and clear. I was having the same problem and mine was a dirty sound pot. Good luck, Lunar Lander is awesome!
 
I just wired my speaker last weekend, and forgot the pot (Wired direct) Boy it was loud, the ground shook LOL

I put 2 x 25 ohm pots in series as I couldn't get a 50 ohm one.

I installed the new pots on the weekend and set it to the correct volume

Much better
 
This board had alot of issues with it and during the repair, i had alot of chip upgrades done to it however, after playing around in test mode for a while, it's displaying a 9, 10 and 11 in the upper left corner. Back to the workbench i guess.
 
I don't fully understand the test mode beeps. Mine beeps twice in test mode, (2 medium beeps) but plays perfectly well ???

Where do you send it to be repaired Chris?
