TROUBLESHOOTING
PHILOSOPHY
To find problems with this game, always first check
what should be obvious. See that the game is
plugged in, and all of the fuses on the game are
good.
Next, check to see that all of the connectors are
firmly seated, and that none of the wires have pulled
out of them.
When trying to find out if specific components are
bad or not, try swapping them with components from
another player station to see if the problem moves
with the component, or stays where it was. This will
help you to know if you have a problem with a spe-
cific component, or maybe a problem with either the
wiring or the Main P.C. Board. Use extreme caution
when using probes or voltmeters if the game is pow-
ered up. If checking continuity, it is important to dis-
connect the harnessing at both ends, as attached
they may yield erroneous results.
If P.C. Boards are suspected as causing problems,
check to see that all I.C. chips are firmly seated on
the boards.
MAIN P.C. BOARD
REPLACEMENT
1. Remove all A.C. power from the game.

3. Carefully remove all of the connectors from
the P.C. Board.
