Ok.
I purchased a Q*bert a week or so ago and it has a couple of issues that I'm hoping someone here has experienced and can help me out with.
When you power on the game you here Q*bert say that the game is on.
If you leave the game powered on for a couple of minutes the graphics issue on the screen goes away and you are then able to select from the demo screen or you can switch back to the game and from that point the game is functional.
When the screen comes up it shows the demo screen and the graphics towards the top of the screen are a little garbled.
Now I know someone will ask this, so to clerify that the inner service switch is switched to the game mode and not the service mode.
The first issue is that after the game is powered on and the demo screen is showing, you are unable to do anything. None of the inner service buttons are functional and you are unable to select anything.
So........Off of the that first issue can someone tell me where I should start. I'm thinking that it's a main PCB issue, but I'm not sure where to start.
I also checked the service switches to see if there was possibly a ground issue there, but all of that wiring checks out.
The second issue is during game play, I'd say 80% of the squares that Q-*bert jumps on have small graphic issues that do not go away. Again, it doesn't affect game play but I want to get the game 100% functional.
So again any direction as to where to start would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
