Get past audit mode by switching off and on quickly
When a game boots into audits, flick the power switch off and straight back on; it usually comes up in attract mode and can be played until the batteries or RAM are fixed (on System 6/7 the coin door must be open). If it still will not reach attract mode, the IC19 5101 or the memory protect circuit is dead.
