Dig Dug Restoration by a Complete Noob
gameguy1957:
Once you get the voltages correct and everything appears to be right so that is should be playing blind, but it doesn't, check the volume pot. It may actually be playing blind, but you just can't hear it.
Same on the monitor, once you get a neck glow and replaced the caps, be sure to check the brightness if it still doesn't get a picture.
You'd think things like that would be obvious, but I recently picked up a 'dead' game cheap and the only problem was that both the sound and brightness were turned all of the way down.

Pop Culture Portal:
Finally got around to installing the AR kit and I now have sound...but it's kind of a combination of static and a loud whistle. Now on to the cap kit for the monitor...
EDIT: And both the Player 1 and Player 2 buttons stay lit...that didn't happen before. ???
Level42:
Is your 5V output on the AR-2 still OK after the cap-kit ? Sounds like your board is hanging.
Pop Culture Portal:
I touched up the solder on the cap kit I installed and added a little more to the 5v. The whistle is gone, but I still have a large static sound, like trying to get a channel on an old TV and the signal just isn't quite strong enough.

Player buttons staying lit solid (not blinking) is an indication of an error on the game board.
Have you tried to get into test mode since the AR kit?
You may also want to carefully re-seat any socketed chips and connectors going to the game board.
