Title: Indy 500 twin arcade - missing background during play - Please help!
Post by: Irish2010 on December 21, 2009, 06:28:40 pm
I have an Indy 500 twin arcade and on one of the screens I can't see the background during play.  All I see is a blue screen with the controls(speed, time left to play).  Anyone have any idea what is causing this?

the problemis with the large surface mount ic's and rams,not something you can fix with a standard soldering iron-you will need suface mount technology
try reseating the pcb stack first

I opened each game up and noticed that the game not working has a blicking red light on the board.  The other car that is working has a green light.  Is ther any way to know the error based on the lights.  It liooks like it is a block of 6 lights.
