The last time I heard of this happening was a member bought a Clear chip from some vendor and they sent him the wrong Clear chip or the data on the chip was corrupted. I tried to re-enact your Clear problem but I can't get my clear chip to stop at [35-2] no matter what I do. (Switching socket jumpers, etc)
I know for one thing that the socket jumper doesn't seem to affect the Clear chip even though I'm using a different sized prom.
What my Clear chip does after I press the momentary white Reset button is display the numbers up on Winner Paid window a [0-1],
and the Credits display runs rapidly up to [254],
it seems to pause for a split second then
the Winner Paid window numbers change to [0-2], the Credits display runs quickly up to [999] and stops.
That's when I know to switch off the power, pull out the MPU, and swap the Clear chip back to the GAME prom.
You didn't seem to indicate that you broke more than one leg off of the SP1271 chip body.
I do wish that you were more careful when removing or installing chips.
Your method of chip removal needs more practice I'm afraid.
Now you have no choice but to post an WTB ad and ask for a new SP chip.
Also, check to see though if perhaps the vendor you bought the Clear chip from will replace your Clear chip?
See if they will take it back to inspect the data that was written into it to make sure it's the correct Clear chip data?
It's all that I can suggest right now because I don't know if you have the soldering, and chip programming equipment or electronic skills to repair those chips?
If there's a small downward vertically hanging peice of leg exiting the chip body, you may be able to "McGuyver" a cut and shortened piece of metal paper staple into the socket and let it touch the broken leg of the damaged SP1271 - keeping fingers crossed for some sort of connection.
But the chances of it working are slim without a full soldered joint.
Anyways, Welcome to the club!
I broke legs off too when I started!
You learn VERY quickly to be more careful when handling these machine chips!
