So happy I could cry... Just fixed my first arcade game issue!!!
My "Frogger" has had no sound for the last week or so, after previously working fine. I know nothing about fixing games, but figured I'd give it a shot. Pulled the cabinet out, opened the back door, figured out which piece was the game board, figured I'd just push gently on a few chips and sockets in case something was loose, closed the door, and hit the "credits" button on the coin door, and Voila!!! Heard the start-up sound effect for coining up, hit the one-player button, and heard the familiar cutesy music and sound fx good as new!!! I know it's not much, but hey, it's a first step for doing my own repairs, and a nice confidence-booster.
Just thought I'd share!
