Re: Stern Mpu - Tech / Repair Service



I could take a shot at it depending on the damage. Probably needs the reset section and a few chip sockets. I have the PIA's in stock too. Let me know.

Hey All

working on an older SS Stern

and I have a feeling the battery leaked too much and messed up the
reset circuit

also its missing 1 display digit on all displays so U10 or U11 are
possibly in need of replacment PIA 6820 GPE is out of stock right now

I did cut the battery off and added a fresh battery holder per clays
guide with the diode on the pack

I cleaned the board trying to neutralize the damage but not sure it it
did much

LED doesnt lite up , but never did since I owned it

the game worked great NOW will not even boot , I swapped out Solenoid/
Voltage Regulators and still wont boot.

Does anyone repair these boards at a low cost ? or anyone able to test
this MPU to see if it indeed does work

PM if you know someone for the repar - Its not horrible at all and can
send pics prior to sending the board out for service


Thanks
James
