Cirqus Voltaire
Bally, 1997Hi
I have my Cirqus Voltaire for many years and now it I have a problem: there is no audio but all the rest works perfectly. When I turn it on the machine "bepps" 10 times.
I searched on the manual and I found that it is an audio RAM's problem
All fuses are OK, I tried to reconnect all audio board's connectors but there is no change at all.
Can anyone give me some help?
Thanks

Had a simular issue on a WPC Soundboard.
Solved it by replacing the RAM chip
Quoted from jansensouza:Yep
I was thinking on doing that
Lets try
Thanks for now
If you don’t have the chip on hand, try reseating the existing chip. Or further, cleaning the pins of the chip with some alcohol and reseating.

The three WPC95 A/V board RAM chips are not usually socketed 
but they are normal DIP IC's so not very hard to replace. Install sockets for the new chips.
I suppose a ribbon cable issue could make the computer think the AV board memory has a problem if you want to try swapping the ribbon before doing circuit board rework. Maybe you have another game to borrow a ribbon cable from?
