Pole Position - no text (hi scores, start screen, and in-game driving info missing)

Other than that, the game looks and plays fine. I assume this could be a single chip that needs reseating. Anyone know which one, or is it something else?

The high score screen is just blank, but the proper color. Same with the yellow Pole Position screen--blank. In-race, the information usually found across the top isn't there. No other in-game graphics issues.

The information you need is in the troubleshooting section of the manual. The chips responsible for the alphanumerics are on the video PCB (the one on the outside, that the monitor plugs into). The chips are at 7N, 8M, and 8N, but I'm not sure which are socketed.
