I'm working on restoring a Ms Pacman cocktail table. I've been able to get mostly everything back up and running, but not everything so here we go....
When I fire up the game, all I see is a white checkered screen, like a big grid with about 1/2" x 1/2" squares. The game also seems to reset every second. The screen goes black and comes back to the grid (very quick) and the game counter on the coin door goes up 1 with every reset or flicker. When I flip the service switch, all I see is basically a rundown of the Dip Switch settings (free play, points to new ms pac, # ms pacs) and then about halfway down the screen a capital 'L' right in the middle and a piece of the fruit at the bottom right. I haven't seen any diagnostic codes that are just the 'L'. Even when on this screen it seems to constantly reset or flicker.
Is this a PCB issue? Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas how to fix it or what the problem might be? Please Help!
