game resets saved settings like free play

[mjthompson]

I recently bought a very nice Super Chexx from approximately 1992. We love the game. We also have pinball machines but this has taken over as the favorite!

I set the game on free play but periodically the game resets to the default settings including pay-for-play. Does anybody have any idea why this may be happening?

Also periodically, the game powers up and I don't get any sound and scoreboard LEDs don't come on. The fluorescent light does come on and both the 5 and 12volt LEDs on the PC board do come on.

One bump to see if anybody can help me out... The game has only reset the settings once since my last update but something is still a little wacky.... A new game starts immediately after a game ends without pushing any buttons, very strange.

Hopefully someone will be able to give me some input.

Sounds like a short. Check the wiring, the cpu board and scoreboard for any smoked chips. You can send the CPU and the Scoreboard to Ice for a small fee and they will check them out for you to see if there is a problem with them. Good Luck!
