Outrun Stage 2 Malfunction w/Photo

Just did a recap -- but did not solve one of the problems.

Picture looks great after recap, however -- (After driving through the 2nd Checkpoint) in the Stage 2 section (where the car is driven into the Desert Scene) the screen goes horizontal half blue and half white (the picture blooms) to where you cannot see any of the scene except the red car (you cannot see the road) -- and you have no control of the car -- and the car seems stuck off the roadway (tires spinning - tires smoking - off the road sound effect) -- and no amount of steering gets you back onto the roadway to continue -- the game clock counts down and you cannot go any further. I would like to be able to get to the next Stage -- but this is impossible with this malfunction.

Could this be a CAP or ROM issue? I did reinsert all of the ROMS on both the CPU and Video Boards -- that did not fix it.

Where can I send the boards to be troubleshooted and evaluated?

Has anyone seen this aberration before?

Have you read & verified the eproms? Sounds like it's getting corrupt game data since it's happening at a certain stage of the game, and not all the time. I'd do a compare with good rom files and see if something's borked there first.
