Hey--

Not sure if anyone is familiar with this board or not on here, having trouble getting ahold of Jim so I thought I'd try this. Basically, when I turn it on with just the power connected as advised in the instructions, the led's only blink on and then turn off the rest of the time. When I press the test switch, I get the led's to blink twice about a second apart. That's all the activity I get. Is my board bad? Kind of seems like it. The power going into the board is 5.1v, I verified that. Game is a firepower btw. Thanks

That's actually what it's supposed to be doing (running test rom), their instructions tell you to flip all the game selection switches down with only the power connector connected. They say that it's supposed to blink at one second intervals in that state (but it's not).

12v shows 11.71, which is in range for that.

I determined what the problem was, it's the dip switches. Every other board in the pinball world (and frankly everywhere else to) uses the sliding dip switches, so when the instructions say to move them down I thought that they were. They're not sliding though, they're press down rotation type, so they're actually inverse of normal dip switches. When I first looked at the board I thought that they were sliding, hence I thought I had the switches in the right position. Frankly, they probably should have stayed with the normal switches, I'm sure I'm not the only person that has gotten fooled by these.
