Thank you so much for that link! this guy has some amazing stuff! will keep you guys updated on how i fix this!

Found a working top speed game for $100... Thoughts? Seems like a pretty obscure game, not a lot of love for it 
cab is a little rough.

Pretty much super scrambled... No sound when on. Havent tested the speaker though, will do that! As far as coining up, if i use the coin mech while its on the screen flashes once as if it does register. then if i hit player one it flashes once more time & after that I get nothing. Even if im moving/hitting buttons its just the same scramble. So no it does not play blind!

Hey there everyone!

I guess you could say im the equivalent of a long time listener first time caller on here. Read quite a bit of troubleshooting tips and fix threads in the past! Anyway... Friend of mine had some non functioning cabinets he was nice enough to give me. one is completely trashed inside... the other ive been able to at least get to power on! Its a 1990 Sega game called AURAIL. Replaced the power supply after discovering old one was shot. also replaced a blown fuse. The game now turns on but the screen is totally scrambled, Ive read around that this is most likely due to rom chips? I very carefully removed all chips on the game/rom board and cleaned them. still scrambled screen. Any ideas on what else I should check?

Heres a pic of what im getting -



Thanks for any help!
