TECH: Space Invaders Deluxe sort of working.

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade (More info?)

Well, after checking the connector to the main board and tightening the
connector pins, I sort of have my Space Invaders Deluxe working.

Here's some pictures before I got it to boot up:

The game plays, but the graphics are very garbled, and dim in and out. Some
wavy lines go across the screen from left to right. The sound works fine,
but I need to get these graphics fixed.

I'm going to replace the connector this weekend.

I reseated the ROMS checked the power supply as well as the power to the
main board. All appear fine.

Suggestions anyone? Bad ROMS? Bad memory?

I'm a little new at this and any suggestions on how to repair this would be
appreciated.

Thanks.
