Quoted from solarvalue:

Just to let everyone know, this game was working before and the boards have all been gone through and tested not too long ago, so they should be mostly good.
Is it possible to remove the MPU without removing the driver board from the game? I mean, can you just undo the top two screws on the MPU and wiggle it out from the interconnect or do you have to take both boards out before separating them?

The MPU sits in a u-shaped channel behind the driver board. You will have to at least remove the screws holding both boards, then you could separate the MPU and remove it.

The issue sounds to me like one of the chips for the switch matrix lines on the upper right corner of the driver board is bad.

Quoted from solarvalue:

One thing to note is that I bought 5 x 5101s from Great Plains. When I put the first one in, the game wouldn't boot at all, so some of these chips might be bad.

These chips are VERY static sensitive. If not careful handling them they can easily be damaged.
