Model: XX Mission
Symptom: Missing text and background is garbled.

Replaced a bad 2k SRAM to fix the text issue and a 2k SRAM to fix the backgrounds. Replaced 3 bad 64k DRAM chips to fix a color striping issue. Tested game. Board had heat damage to the +5v pins on the JAMMA edge connector. This was caused by excessive current draw from the 3 shorted 64K DRAM chips.

Model: Atomic Robo-Kid
Symptom: Dead. Will sometimes power up.

Patched a burnt trace then Reseated CPU module. CPU module was not fully seating due to interference from an empty ROM socket next to it. Removed the ROM socket, cleaned up the RTV sealant used to hold the CPU in place, reinstalled the CPU then reapplied new low-fume RTV to hold it in place. Tested.
