Re: Lunar Lander Problem TECH HELP

I took a look at the schematics and the most likely cause
is a bad ground connection to the game board. Try
connecting a jumper wire from a ground test point on the
board back to the power supply ground and see if the bulbs
work right.

The most likely place for the bad ground is the edge
connector.
