Robotron - no response from the control panel but boots up fine
Really weird. My Robotron has worked flawlessly for years but now I get no response at all from the control panel. When turning on the machine it goes into the "factory settings restored, open the coin door"...when I do that and hit the test button inside the coin door it boots up into demo mode to factory settings just fine. I replaced the CR2032 button that holds the settings thinking that would do the trick but no luck. Still no response from the player 1 or 2 buttons or the joysticks. I can coin up just fine from inside the coin door but it won't start a game when I hit player 1 or 2 and just stays in attract mode.
I've done the following...
-replaced CR2032 battery on the board
-gone into switch test...only the right joystick registers going left and right only
-reseated the connector to the control panel (the lights under the player 1 and 2 button are working so its getting power)
Any ideas where to look?? I can't change the settings in test mode since the joysticks wont work. Really weird. Thank you in advance!
