Seems you're missing one GI connector. Must be smashed behind the power driver board?TAF (resized).png

Is the game booting up now? If not, reseat that top left ribbon cable at all 4 board connections.

Try unplugging both ribbon cables at the top of the MPU. Does it boot up now? If so, I think you need to replace that top left ribbon cable. I had issues with where these come from. I think the female pins are much deeper than the original ribbon cables and make of very intermittent connections.

Can you unplug the small ribbon cable between the driver board and MPU? Remove the 2 just at the top of the MPU. MPU should boot up without any ribbon cables plugged in. If not still booting, there seems to be a MPU issue to deal with. Try and push on the ASIC chip, any luck?

This MPU was tested before? Maybe game ROM is plugged in wrong?

Leave the ribbon cables disconnected from the MPU until you can get the MPU to boot up first.

You can do a quick test. If you take the MPU out of the Getaway, plug in power into J210 only. Hold the MPU on the edges while powering on the machine. If it does not boot, I would be checking the actual voltage measurements on the power driver board, especially 5v and 12Digital. 12VUnregulated should still be above, 13v, but will not keep the board from booting up.

Can you take a close up picture of the MPU so we can see if these IC's are oriented correctly (notch facing to the right)? More so, like this picture.MPU (resized).png

Yes, those are in correctly. The voltages sound good too.

It seems one side of the ASIC chip is not seated properly. Push firmly on the right side. The chip should be seated down in the socket just like the left side. Maybe it is just me, but looks like it is not seated in this picture.

Do you have the PLCC chip puller to remove the ASIC chip? I would remove it and look for any damaged pins in the socket and any bent pins on the chip and then reseat it back into the socket and try to boot it up again before getting another board.

Since I do not use Rottendog MPU boards, I don't know whether a jumper on your MPU board would be required to be changed with TAF game ROM. I would not think so though.

What all parts came installed on the Rottendog MPU? Any of the socketed IC's?

<You know that was a working TAF game ROM ?

If the socket pins look ok, try and press it down all sizes of the chip at the same time. Best having the board flat on a table.

I'm kinda worried that the ribbon cable that was plugged in wrong spot, causing the fuse to blow, may have damaged the MPU.

Hope your replacement works out.

All of us have done that or something similar. Not the best way to learn, but it is learning none the less.

Enjoy!

Oh, You can talk with who you bought it from to see where you can send it for repair. If they say send it to Rottendog, they likely will repair it under warranty. If so, it can be gone a while though.

That is very good news. I hope you get the thing sorted out soon so you can enjoy the game. Now the game only needs a ColorDMD. http://shop.colordmd.com/led-replacement-display-for-addams-family-pinball-machine/

The LED display is currently out of stock until end of February. Though the LCD one is in stock, but the tall screen will sit high up from the speaker panel because of the *THING* lamps at the bottom. LED display would be a better fit for this game.
