I know from reading on the web that Q*bert is infamous for sound issues. Mine says "I am turned on" when you power it up, and initially had a few sounds working but not all. It would however say "bye bye" pretty regularly.
I found out on the web that one of the chips on the main board would need to be replaced to help fix the issue- I ordered it and upon installing it, I immediately noticed more sounds working. I was psyched! I powered down the game and upon powering it up the next day, now the only sound I get is the "I am turned on" and then nothing else.
However, when pushing the test button on the sound card/PCB, it does generate a noise.
Do I put the old chip back in as it was? Did the new chip allow for more damage? I'm really bummed about the sound not working, b/c that's the best part of this particular game. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On a brighter note, the knocker's still working! :(
