The game is silent.
No sound at all
Cause: Sound option switches on the control board, the volume control, the sound board fuse, a missing supply on the sound board, a bad speaker, or the sound board.
Checks
- Check control board option switches 25, 26 and 27.
- Check the volume control on the bottom board.
- Check the sound board fuse on the bottom board.
- Measure +5 V, +12 V and -12 V DC on the sound board.
- Measure about 8 ohms across the speaker terminals.
Fix
- Correct the setting, fuse, supply or speaker fault; otherwise replace the sound board.
