Lesson learned. Test it when when you get it.

To whoever it was I bought this "listed as working" Centipede CPU board from several months back.....

PPPPFFFFFTTTTTTT !!!!

This is why I make videos of EVERYTHING I sell and send them to the buyer before boxing/shipping out. That covers my end in case this very thing happens. There are several people who can attest to that.

Sorry to hear about your predicament.
 
Definite bummer. If I am selling a board, I test if for a few days prior to listing.
Fortunately, while not exactly "healing all the wounds", there are a few good peeps on this forum who can revive a Centipede board.
 
Hummm....I sold a tested and working Centipede CPU a couple month ago..maybe a bit longer. It was certainly working...I tested it working for the add and again before boxing it. I'll have to check to see if I sold it to you

ETA Wasn't you...sold it to daslimm

Yes. I bought this as a spare for a nice working game. I was going through the stuff on the shelves one night and decided to give the board a test. Everything looked great until I tried playing a game... no trackball movement at all! Arrgghhh!

I don't want to search back and try to tag anyone on this... my fault for not testing it when I received it. It was a good lesson learned, so I had to pass on my aggravation!
(actually I did but I ain't tellin') :))
