My Pac-Man keeps rebooting when I turn it on. Never enters actuall game mode. Looking for an area to start. Thank you.

I see a real quick RAM 1 displayed possibly a C before it. There is a screen shot that matches what I have on Arcadegameover.com
It says video ram at 4P. There are 6 similar ram chips in that area and they are all socketed.
Is it Ok to swap with another and see if the issue changes?
Or should I try to locate one of these somewhere and just change it?
8215
SY2114L-2 is the number on the chip in that location. I have some boards kicking around from other games. Is there another comparible number that will work there?
Start simple, make sure your slam switch isn't shorted. Does it cycle when you put it in test mode?
Where exactly is the slam switch? I've heard of it but never figured out where it is.
You missed where he said it was flashing up a chip error on the screen.![]()
You can swap them around and see if the error changes. Mark the suspect bad one before removing any. Most any 2114 ram will work on a pac. It may just be a socket issue and reseating them might get you going.
