Hello,

I have a System 80 James Bond which I have been working on for a week. I did bulletproofing, replaced U4 6532, repaired battery corrosion areas and finally got it to boot to attract mode. All displays good and the bookkeeping and tests are working fine. Test #18 = 99, test #20 = 99, all coils working in attract mode.

My problem is when I press the start button ball is ejected into shooting trough, 0 flashes in player one display and then instantly the knocker energizes once and game goes dead - no displays, does nothing. You have to turn power off then back on; it will go into attract mode again.

Fortunately I have another system 80 working set of boards out of my Volcano. I tried these and same thing happen, I then tried Volcano cpu with Volcano Prom and when I hit start button, ball ejects into shooting trough and Player 1 flashes 0, but I get no knocker and game stays booted but everything else is dead – no switches or solenoids working. I am assuming this is because of wrong Prom, but it does stay booted with flashing 0 in player 1 display. With James Bond Prom it shuts down.

I came to the conclusion that James Bond Prom maybe bad and have ordered one from Flippers.com BTW it is a 3/5 ball version James Bond as the Instruction card indicates, also has a sticker above the timer display indicating a special for 90 on timer.

My question is does it look like I’m on the right track or could it be something besides the Prom?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Gary C
