I turned on my games tonight to play a few.

All were on.

My battlezone was on, and looked good.

Soon as i put a token in, it looks like it coined up.

start button flashes, but you cant start a game. and on the screen it just cycles from the title screen to high scores, ect.. (like it still needs a credit)

some time a bright green dot appears in the middle - along with the normal graphics..


Any ideas? voltage drop on game board? power supply going bad?

i will have to look into when i have more time- justed wanted see if some else ever saw this problem.


cheers.

Power down. Reseat all cables. Carefully press in all socketed chips. Power back up.

If you don't have the BattleZone high score save kit you should probably go that route too.

Not only does the game save your scores but it bypasses many of the flaky roms on the boards and uses the on-board one.
 
+1 on high score kit! As it removes some of the problem rom sockets.. Also, might want to replace your AUX cable if it's original..

Is your ARII rebuilt?

Man, you lucky your BZ was actually working.. Heh, I've owned a few.. Never lasted more than a few days..

Mine's good for about 18 months between repairs but I have high hopes for it now and am looking for an even longer time.
