Pretty please?

Not completely dead... even will work, on occasion, minus the fireballs the tie fighters, towers and turrets send at you.

Put VectorLabs SW/ESB on it and ESB will mostly play (minus fireballs) and SW will not play at all... still.
 
I need my sw pcb fixed too! (after his) Mine has esb kit also. Works but graphics are garbled in the middle.

Have you tried the standard things of pulling, cleaning and reseating all the socketed chips as well as making sure the edge connector is clean and the harness making good contact? I found that my SW will act up once in awhile and just reseating chips seems to work. Just be careful and note the correct position of the chips..and just do one at a time.

Yep. Did that first, when the problems started. It helped a little...
initially the PCB set wouldn't even start a game.
Still not playable however. Something is definately failing/failed.

Next you might want to check to be sure the boards are seated firmly on that connector board and also check the sockets for cold solder joints.
