At power-on both CPU LEDs flicker, then come back on and stay on.

LEDs flicker then stay on: flipper or game ROM problem

Cause: A bad flipper ROM or game ROM, or its socket. LEDs that come on solid with no flicker point to a locked CPU instead.

Checks

  • Reseat or replace the ROMs at IC17, IC20 and IC14 and check their sockets.

Fix

  • Fit freshly burned EPROMs in new sockets.
