After all the help I received repairing an inoperative Sling shot, I thought I may pick the Brain Trust’s collective knowledge on this seemingly minor hiccup.

When I turn on my Fire! machine I get normal play and sounds EXCEPT for the music track. The game will play normally for several balls (without music but WITH sounds). After 3-4 balls of play the music will start up at the start of a new ball. (It never starts up mid ball.) This phenomena occurs when it is cold. If the man cave is warm the music starts up right away.

When the music/sound plays everything works well, no buzzing/humming/static. The sound card is an original unit.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

If you have already checked that the voltages at the sound board are correct when cold, then try reseating the ribbon cable. If reseating the cable helps then replace it.

Great Start! I’ll give it a whirl.
