Re: Tech: Battlezone Vectors Everywhere

I reflowed these connectors. I'll re-check continuity between the pins.

I tried putting the game into test mode. All that displays is a line across
the middle of the screen like this...

_\___________________________/_

No beeps, no sounds, no indication of failed parts. No pattern that the
manual says should be there.

As I said in a earlier message, the game comes up now and plays. Stuff is
just all over the screen and sounds seem okay.

Does anyone fix these?
