Hi.
I've recently acquired a Stinger PCB along with a cabinet. This is my first
foray into arcade collecting.
When the board is powered up, the monitor displays a full screen of rubbish
and none of the buttons or joystick change what's on the screen. About half
the times I power it up, the first few notes of the game music repeat
endlessly until powered down. My gut feeling is that it's hanging during
it's startup routine, but I don't know enough about them to know what to do
to fix it.
I can find no information about this game anywhere on the net. No manual,
pinout or dipswitch info.
If anyone has any idea what components on the board may be the cause, I can
check them out. I've already replaced all the components that had been
damaged to the point where I knew they were broken.
Thanks
Andrew
