Major bummer. Have you worked your way through this: http://pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Williams_WPC#Power-On_LEDs_and_Sound_Tones_.28Bongs.29

5.4 Power-On LEDs and Sound Tones (Bongs)
When the game is booted, several LEDs in the backbox will light, and the game may provide sound "bongs" to indicate diagnostic status.
A properly booting WPC game will show a "progress bar" on the DMD along with a "ticking" sound which results from a series of reset signals being sent to the sound board. After a successful boot, the sound board will create a single "bong" tone.
5.4.1 LEDs on the MPU
Note: WPC and WPC-S games label the MPU and Power/Driver board LEDs as "Dxx". WPC-95 games label these same LEDs "LEDxxx".

  • D19 (LED201) - "Blanking". This LED should light when power is applied, then after about 1 second, go off and stay off. If D19 remains on, this is an indication that the blanking circuit is turned on which prevents the game from powering coils. The blanking circuit was implemented to eliminate the possibility of damaging the game due to locked on coils when the CPU isn't operating properly.
  • D20 (LED203) - "Diagnostics". Once the blanking LED turns off, this LED should begin blinking and remain blinking as long as the game is turned on. This LED is a simple "I'm working" indication from the MPU. This LED is toggled from pin 35 of the ASIC (DLED signal). D20 will also indicate basic issues with the MPU by blinking as such...
  • One blink - problem with the game ROM.
  • Two blinks - problem with the game RAM (or accessing the RAM, i.e. open traces).
    Three blinks - problem with the ASIC (WPC) or a problem with the security chip (WPC-S and WPC-95).
    D21 (LED202) - "5VDC present". This LED provides a simple indication of the presence of 5VDC. This LED isn't CPU controlled. It's illuminated by a simple 5VDC connection.
