Thanks, but I am pretty sure I replaced this chip with the good one with no improvement. I don't have the board here at the moment, but I have already swapped all the socketed chips - of which I think one was the POKEY. Being new to working on Vector games, can someone tell me what position on the AUX BD the POKEY is on? I guess I need to check the socket to be sure it is getting all the connections, however.

I have already reflowed the solder on the interboard connector with no results.

I appreciate the help!

  Sounds like you've got a bad POKEY. I have sometimes seen everything look fine during self-test, yet a POKEY can still be bad. Try swapping them out with some from the good Aux board.

  There's also a chance that you may have bad solder joints on the cable connectors between the Aux board and the CPU board. Reflowing them may help.
