<< I just picked up a Major Havoc dedicated, shipped from the seller working.

However, when it reached here, I had the 'clicking' problem

(click-click-click and coin lights flash). A while back someone has a

similar problem w/ a Space Duel, thinking that it was the AVG, however I

don't think that conclusive results were found.

Before I go digging in the archives, net, etc., I was wondering if anyone

had some pointers or references to this type of problem, aka, what causes it

(is it a diagnostic condition on the boardset?).

Initially, I plan on the following (more for maintenance more than solving

the problem):

 - Checking the solder joints and voltages on the PS/regulator (not under

load for the time being).

 - Checking the solder joints on the monitor/deflection boards.

 - Checking and reseating the chips on the PCB.

 - Cleaning the edge connector(s).

Thanks for any info.

Check for 5.1 volts at the board. Your voltage may be too low. You can
adjust it on the audio reg II board.
