The game reports a U9 sound RAM error; speech call-outs come out wrong and sometimes there is no sound at all.
Sound board RAM error at U9, wrong call-outs or no sound: replace the U9 RAM
Cause: The RAM chip at U9 on the sound board had failed.
Checks
- Reseat the ribbon cables to the sound board.
- Check that no chip on the board has a leg folded under instead of in its socket (one was found at U15 here, though fixing it didn't cure this fault).
Fix
- Replace the RAM chip at U9 on the sound board.
