I recently picked up a new IC to replace the HS IC in a System II PCB (My Championship Sprint PCB stopped saving high scores). I am ready to install this bad boy but DAMN, there are a lot of same sized IC's on this board.

Can someone direct my to the proper placement for this chip?

Thanks!
 
Matt Osborn PM'd it to me, but sadly I don't have the message anymore. 2600 has also helped me out with these PCBs, so maybe he can chime in? At any rate, best of luck Friz.

Best,

Well now shit...

I found a 2804 (D1) and replaced it with the 2816 I recently over paid for.... only to find that the damn game STILL is not saving high scores.

Any other suggestion?

Hi again Frizz,

When I installed my 2816, I had to reset the HS table, power down, and then it started saving. If that doesn't work, I cant help but think you may have a bad 2816? It could be something else, but its above my knowledge.

Take care,

Jow
 
No such luck... reset the table... table reset as usual... got 1st place... put in initials... powered down and when I re-powered up my initials are gone.

:(

The high score USED to save...

Any way to test if this IC is bad? Next I guess I get to change the socket, huh?
