I have seen flowcharts for monitor issues; step one is bad picture, go to step to and check this and that. Is there a flowchart for game board issues, specifically for Centipede?
The neon green in Centipede has been replaced by an ugly forest green.
I checked my edge connector and it's still clean. I moved the video cables from the edge connector and the picture does not improve. I also took a vacuum cleaner to the socketed chips, but this didn't change anything either. The screen characters are intact and the game plays fine.
I have an old chip puller that came with my PC toolkit, but everytime I try to get physical with the socketed chips on the board the creaks it makes sound terrible. I'd hate to kill my 26 year old Centipede board!
