First of all…Thanks to this forum and all of you on this board…I've been snooping around a while and learned a lot from everyone reading some of the posts. I'm a rookie when it comes to vintage arcade machines and have wanted to get involved for some time now. While on vacation I came upon a Qbert cocktail machine collecting dust and was able to acquire it from the person who owned it. I now have it in my garage and am trying to get it up and running.
It fires up, and goes directly to the test mode (or screen). I cannot get it to switch from that screen. It's froze or stuck.
I just recently bought an Intel D8088 chip to replace the one it had to see if it had something to do with that..but no luck. After replacing that, it still boots directly to the test screen.
I also don't have control of the arrow (cursor) to pick a test function.
I need some direction from anyone who might be able to help. Has anyone had this type of issue come up before? Do I need to replace the control panel?
Thanks again for any advice you can give regarding this.
