Vs Sky Kid won't coin up, and it's new to me. The board looks like new. The game makes a ping noise when powered up with Sky Kid, and the attract/demo screen boots up and displays fine. It just won't coin up. My 4 other Vs boards coin up and play fine. Any ideas? Thx Rich
 
OK I checked the Dips on the mother and daughter board. #8 on the mother board was on for some reason, and I set it to the dips to the default settings per the Vs manual I spied @ www.johnsarcade.com Thanks John for a most excellent site BTW!

No coin up problem persists though, and no apparent difference on default dip settings. I tried jumping the coin mech as per the Vs manual and that didn't work either.

Next I'm pulling the daugther board and swapping it to a known working mother board to see what happens, and I'll take some known ROMS off another and check'm against the offending mother board to see what happens.

Any other ideas?
 
I think that 4 has to be on. I own the board and I seem to remember that.

As far as your coin up issue, I have that problem with one of my boards. It appears that a cap is clipped and I was going to replace it. However, you say that other games work and coin up fine. Hmmmm. Check the daughterboard for any damaged components.
