Title: Re: wms slant top Post by: AnotherTech on June 04, 2011, 02:35:08 AM Since you say you have a 19" CRT I'm guessing you don't have a top-box LCD installed. Alfred Hitchcock is a dual screen game that requires the top LCD to run. The error you are getting is because it's not there.

I have a dual screen WMS 550 with Pac-Man installed and randomly get the "LCD top box communication failure" message. Usually I can just restart the machine and it will be fine. Sometimes it pops up right away, other times I can play it for a few hours before that happens. What causes this?
Thanks. Title: Re: wms slant top Post by: AnotherTech on June 06, 2011, 11:22:50 PM It means the bottom CPU board lost communication with the top box. I would reseat all the connections between the two and all the chips on both boards, to start. If it keeps up, clearing RAM may help, or you may have a bad board.
It was pretty common to have these errors on occasion, but yours sounds like a chronic issue. |
