Game appears to be booting, but video output is non-functional. Probing /CSYNC shows it stuck low. Tracing sync back from the test lug, found a broken leg on R86. Fixed, but still no video.

 

/CSYNC originates at LS368 @4E, with /CMPSYNC output on pin 3 and input coming from pin 2. Continuity from the sync pin to 4E's output was good, so started probing with a scope. Signal on /VSYNC and /HSYNC test lugs looked good, but output on 4E was not correct — H sync was present, but there was no V sync added.

 

Per the schematic, input to 4E comes from a LS00 @6H, LS74 @6C, and LS86 @4A. 4A is not populated on this PCB, and 6C's outputs connect directly to 4E's inputs. 4A is driven by /VSYNC and the 4V line from the 07xx custom @4C. Both these inputs appear good, but output lacks V sync, so the LS74 is suspect. Comparing in-circuit against known good part with a logic comparitor confirms a fault. Socketed and replaced the part, and video is now present.

 

While there is video, the board is watchdogging. It gets through most of the power-on tests, prints "RAM OK," and resets, which is a good indication that there is a ROM problem. Put it on the Fluke and ran ROM tests, which returned the correct signatures, but at the wrong locations. Visual comparison against another board showed that the -205 and -206 ROMs had been installed in the wrong sockets. Swapped them into the correct locations, and the board boots and plays.
