Hey guys, bought a pinbot for my pc off ebay, guess I didnt pay attention to the "as-is" in the fine print. Im getting garbage on the screen when I try to play. Sound works great, but just garbage for video. I've tried reseating the chips to no avail, anyone have any tips or tricks? I've never had a problem with a playchoice game before. One option I thought of was having someone burn new roms for that game. Any ideas, suggestions? Thanks! -Jason
 
Sounds like roms but it could also be dirt or a bent pin. So check the pins on the cart if they are fine then try different slots with only Pinbot on the board. If still the same garbled graphics then it needs fresh roms.
 
check for corrosion on the rom pins... if the legs don't have that shiny luster to them, it could be your problem. :p

I've had success just using some 220 sandpaper. just go enough to where the legs look silver again. be very careful not to bend any pins.

if that's not the case, then you're probably in need of, as mentioned, fresh roms.
