Fathom Help, on site repair.

[Matt Adams]

Hi all,

I have a near neighbour who has a Fathom that he has had since the mid 90's!! After a long lay-up it isn't booting. I sent the MPU off to Andy who identified and fixed faults but there is still no joy.

When you switch it on the GI comes on and (since the MPU came back) some limited inserts but no displays etc. All the balls are in the trough.

I am a bit out of my depth with anything before system 11 so does anyone mobile cover this sort of era machine? I have had Martin of Go pinball round before so will message him but looking for any recommendations

The machine is located in Elmer PO22.

Thanks,

Matt.

sounds like a loss of power or a bad neutral/ground have you checked all fuses?

count the led flashes on the mpu,sounds like it's not completing the boot sequence

I'm fairly sure I did but always worth another check

Thanks Steve, I think this is the same system as my EBD LE looking at the manuals so will compare the two
