and makes no sound and the lights don't seem to work. any ideas of what maybe its problem and how to fix it?
Jigenjuke:
Can you put the machine into diagnostic mode? Do you have the Schematics? If not you can get them here.

A quote from the author of the blog...
I noticed in the manual that if you don’t have any characters on screen at all, the ROM in 3F on the scrolling video board is bad. "
Maybe someone here on the board can help, do a search for moonpatrol
and also just in case you don't have it, the non-schematic manual is here....

and here....

Well i didn't have that manual but i did have the schematic.
I can't really get it to do anything(other then almost halfway somewhat go in the the test mode) and i am thinking it may have to do with who ever had it before. Someone has taken out the power board and replaced it with something newer and added a coin counter that seems to send 12 v to the board to where the coin switch connects.
Off of the transformer it goes to a black box that has a 12 v, -5v, ground, and 5v (none are really what they say they are all a little under). and the only 12v that was hooked up went to the coin counter. So i moved one of the 5v that i think should be 12v.
All i can really get it to do is change the pic to something else and maybe have it scroll for like a second. O and i had it make some sound for like 10 seconds.

so ya when i get it to kind of go in to test most it tells me :
ram NG: E000: 01 08
and the numbers keep going up by about 1 every time until it gets to ram NG: E7***: ** **
so I'm thinking that it may not begetting all the power it needs or the PCB maybe trash but i really don't know
