Missile Command Board Acting Up

I have a Missile command board that was working but kinda' glitchy. Now
all I have is a blue screen with vertical bars running through it and
nothing more. When I set it on test mode I get 7 low tones and then a
high tone. SO, I replaced the ram chip that is associated with the high
tone and it did not fix the problem. Any help would be good. I have
checked all the e-proms and processor in anothe board and they work.
PLus all the voltages are good because I have another board and it
works fine in the machine.
Thanks

Do you get the same error code?

Did you check to ensure that when you replaced the chip all the
continuity was good with a meter? Try continuity with your good board
to ensure that you didn't mess up by accident when socketing the chip.

Did you probe F4 to make sure it's getting the proper -5 voltage? Might
be trouble upstream.

Could be a few different causes really - can you get a repairer to
look at it? Where are you - in the US?
