    Yes you can. Or put a good driver board into the game. Can you post a picture of the driver board?

    If I recall correctly, flashers run off of 18v, so you have a chance a flasher socket may be shorting against its own terminals or against a metal assembly in the playfield. Did you do any work on the playfield recently with or near any flashers bulbs/sockets?

    Please post a picture of the CPU/Sound board. Sometimes the battery corrosion can skip down the board to other areas and completely leave another area alone, just like a tornado.

    Need to see much more of the board. What you did do, looks really good. Did you look at the side view of the solder joints under the U212 and game ROM sockets for any corrosion?

    FYI. U213 is different between some games. So swap that with your game ROM.

    Quoted from G-P-E:

    This trace looks like it is eaten away...[quoted image]

    With the use of NVRAM, seems the connection to the battery would be no longer needed, right?
