Kevin,
=A0
=A0=A0=A0=A0 I went through the same thing and if your schematics are like =
mine, they don't show where the tilt switch is connected.=A0 I ended up tra=
cing it out at one point=A0and here is what I found:
=A0
The tilt switch input comes in on pin 4 of the right hand connector of the =
sound board.=A0 It goes through a resistor and capacitor like all other swi=
tch inputs and terminates at pin 5 of B2.=A0 It then goes out on pin 6 of B=
2 and connects to pin 4 of B3.=A0 The schematics incorrectly show that pin =
4 on B3 is connected to the +5 volt line that is pulling up all port 0 (P0x=
) inputs, but it is not.=A0 B3 is a multiplexer that puts the status of the=
 tilt switch on the MX buss when the port 2 inputs are probed.=A0 If there =
was a problem with the MX buss, your game would probably be dead so you sho=
uldn't need to look any further than B3.=A0 Hopefully that gives you a good=
 place to start looking.
=A0
Good luck,
-Chris

I know I've seen this solution somewhere but for the life of me I cannot fi=
nd it. Got a SI that's showing title error. The schematics don't show a til=
t circuit so I'm guessing it was not implemented. Power Supply good, cab go=
od as I've swapped board sets and no problem there.=20
I'm betting there is either a shorted trace or chip on the motherboard, jus=
t not sure where to start looking.=20
Thanks=20
