Some updates and new questions. After fiddling with wiring, I got sound back, but now I have a different problem. When a game is playing, the sound is fine. When a game is not playing, you hear the saucer disintegrate sound rapidly repeating itself, and occasionally there are other sounds playing. But again, when the game is playing, everything sounds normal (no missing sounds and no extra sounds), so I don't think the output latch or any of the connections are bad. (the first thing I replaced was the pokey without any change in behavior) Any ideas where I should look next. -jeff -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MyPearl Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 1:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: VECTOR: Battlezone problems Listen for a faint hum in the speaker while the game's on.If it is there, the problem probably isn't your ARII. From there, it could very well be the audio opamps or the Pokey on the main PCB. Also, check for bad contacts (ie on the edge connectors) first. Wiggle them and see wether that has any effect on the audio.
