I have The Simpsons Bowling arcade game. It seems to play fine. I had a problem with the SCSI 50 Pin cd rom drive and replaced it with another cd rom drive. The problem I am having now is if you let it sit idle without playing it for about 14 minutes the screen will turn blue and stay that way. Almost like it is going in sleep mode. If I play the game, I can play for 30 minutes or as long as i want and it will not go to a blue screen. If I let it go idle after playing it fvor around 14 to 20 minutes I get the blue screen again. I have checked the voltages on the Jamma Harness and i have tried it at 5.03 volts and everywhere in between up to 5.15 volts. There is still no change. I have removed the one and only socketed chip on the board and cleaned the pins even though they were clean anyway. I have checked for loose cables as well. All seems well. I am really getting frusterated with this problem and I have ran out of things to check.
I am also having a problem that every once in awhile I will get a loud buzzing sound after 10 minutes of being on. The buzzing will start off about as loud as the volume at 6 and within 15 seconds it will be so loud my neighbors can hear it a couple of houses away. It is almost ear shattering and I am afraid one of these days i will not be quick enough to turn the game off before it blows the speaker. I have ohmed out the speaker and it is reading 7.4. Anybody ever experience this? Or does anybody know where I can go from here?
