    Working on a Stern Stars. Nice thing is I have a fully working one in my collection.

    I replaced rectifier board.
    Installed working driver.

    I repinned every connector and replaced all pins on MPU. There was acid damage to the bottom of board. I cleaned up best I could. I resocketed the chip shown in picture. Checked continuity for every pin. All traces good.

    So here is what happens. Game kinda boots, it cycles coils continuously. Where would I start on the board to find the problem

    Thank you in advance

    Quoted from zacaj:

    You get all seven flashes correctly?

    No flash. Just comes on dim and stays dim.

    Quoted from zacaj:

    You sure you have those roms in the right spots? Usually MPU-100 games have roms in U2 and U6

    Good catch! Game boots. Moved from 1 to 2 spot!

    Ball not kicking to shooter lane. I'll check it out and report back. Thanks so much! Great catch!
