If self test mode stays on indefinitely and the monitor never blanks out in test mode.. Your monitor is repaired - don't mess with it any further! Your game board on the other hand is not running properly. The Centipede manual will tell you all the steps you can run through in self test. Repairing the PCB is quite a different thing... Not sure if that is a road you are interested in traveling down... Working and tested Centipede PCB's are pretty easy to come buy (I have a couple at the moment).. Where are you located? |

Sounds like when a Centipede PCB of mine had a bad Pokey. |

Good morning people, --- Quote ---Your monitor is repaired - don't mess with it any further! --- End quote --- That’s the best news yet. :cheers: So you think swapping out my PCB for a working one is the way to go? I’m from Grand Island, NY. Between Niagara Falls and Buffalo, NY. How much would a used board run? I noticed that there are 3 or 4 chips on the board. Do you think replacing those might be a start to see how far gone the board is? I also noticed that there is a reset button at the bottom of the PCB. When I tried to press that button nothing seemed to happened. That button also appears to be stuck in the depressed position. Does that sound normal? I’m not sure of the characteristics of that button. I thought it would be slightly protruding from the board so that it could actually be pressed in. Like a momentary type switch. Other than that, I’m at a loss. What are your suggestions? :-\ |

A Centipede board looks like this normally. Maybe 60+ chips and other stuff too... Something on here is bad.. I have a good one if you want to work something out - PM me a pic of the board you have. |
