Wanted: Ms Pac Man PCB

[gyruss]

My ms pac man pcb died yesterday, so i'm looking for a new one.

[Etienne MacGyver]

Sorry to hear that

Rest in peace  

[level42]

What are the symptoms ?

[Muerto]

Stopped breathing i guess....

[gyruss]

When i turn on the cab, the ghosts and the ms pac character don't follow the dots, they follow the walls/ level structure



then after a while i get this garbage on the screen  



it will stay that way for a couple of minutes, after that, the screen is normal again but no characters  



I guess there are a couple of problems so a new pcb seems the way to go, but maybe i'm wrong and fixing it is a cheaper option?

[Belike]

Is it an original or bootleg pcb?

[gyruss]

it's an original

[Robinholland]

Do you sale the defect pcb ?
Or sent your pcb to me , i fixed it for a nice price 

[gyruss]

Would be great if you could fix it, i'll pm you.

Robin fixed mine as well, he's the right man for the job !

It could also be a voltage issue...might be worth checking the +5V on the board.

I heard from a reliable source that the RAMs often mess up on (Ms.) Pac.

Oops still haven't tried the "slow" Rams Robin, I will work on it tomorrow evening !

[Robinholland]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Leave the rams alone  
Ok i will also now if the slow rams work 

[gyruss]

just put the pcb in a box and will post it tomorrow, thanks Robin!

[Robinholland]

[Muerto]

if you want to sell it, michael, i'd gladly take it simply for its coolness factor. you beat me in the auction back then, remember?
