The game still resets.

Resets remain after rectifiers, caps and connectors are done

Cause: A weak +5 V regulator (LM323 on WPC-S and earlier, LM317K on WPC-95), a leaky LM339 comparator at U6 (U1 on WPC-95), heat trouble in CPU board chips U1, U2 and U3, or a damaged U8 6264 RAM on the CPU board.

Checks

  • Work through the regulator, then the LM339, then the CPU board chips.

Fix

  • Replace the regulator; it is cheap and a common failure.
  • Replace the LM339 in a socket.
  • Replace CPU board U1-U3 or the U8 RAM if implicated; the RAM is static-sensitive.
