Quoted from vipe_1:Another quick update... I put a known working aux lamp board in place of the one in Mars, and still no chaser lights. So, it's not something on the board. I am getting good 5V to the board from the connector. Is there anything fused or any other reason why the whole board/chasers lights wouldn't work?
When checking for 5VDC on the chaser board, did you check with the negative and positive probes on the chaser board only? I bet you are missing the ground connection from that board.
Did you ground as I recommend here:

Note the jumpers on the 3 O'Clock position of the regulator board - these catch the ground connections for the pop bumper boards and chaser board.
Your strobe problem is either a bad pin (or pin in the wrong place - as per your previous problem, this will be the first check to make) or a defective drive component, or even a short to ground (rare). If you have another System 80 game try the MPU there to see if the problem follows the MPU or not. If problem doesn't follow, then the problem is in the game.
