Not quite arcade related, but I wasn't sure which section it would fit in.... so I'm dropping it here for exposure, and Tombo can feel free to decide where it should be.

I have one of these:

I don't have the manual, but I do have the controller pad(not shown).

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them, electronically. Mine seems to have a corrupted memory chip. The embedded message is fine, but once I start programming a message in, part of it becomes corrupted and displays garbage.

I would like to get this thing fixed, as it works well otherwise. It does store part of the message I program in, but at some point it turns to garbage.

I am not going to open it, until I've got an idea of what I'm looking for. I'm assuming it's a bad chip, but is there a way to tell which one is bad?
 
Cool Story bro, time.

When I was in college in Wyoming, one night it was like -25 or something. Probably in June or something....since it's cold 13 months out of the year there. One of the University Professors went outside her home to smoke a cigarette on her porch. Apparently, she slipped and fell and hit her head because the next day they found her dead under a pile of snow...only found her because feet where sticking out.

Moral of the story: Smoking kills. :D

Also, cool sign.
 
Iggy speaking of smoking, your profile pic. Is that a cig or a joint?

It's a cigarette size cigar. The difference is in the tax rate our state forces us to pay on. Cigars don't fall under the umbrella of "cigarette tax", no matter how much they look like, or smoke like, cigarettes.

For the record, I can't roll joints worth a shit. I never could, and now that my hands are losing coordination, I probably never will. When I partake the MJ, I use a small pipe(commonly known as a "bowl").
