Hi

I have acquired a moonbase coctail cab initially non working display got it going working well 2 sound dials are broke on the sound pcb literally snapped so need to acquire 2 from somewhere issue I have is was working fine for a week in 1 or 2 player mode then for no reason will only work one side of screen ie won't flip controls both sides work fine etc I'm a novice at this this is my first cab been told its the flip circuit.
Any ideas on any fixes as tbh been searching 2 week nearly now found schematics etc but tbh I don't know where to look to find which one of the three pcbs it would relate

It would be nice to know which board it relates or if there's some way I could attempt this myself if not the last route would be sending it off but I would still need to know which pcb thanks for reply

There's only 1 set of dips with 8 settings all are set as per instruction and has a plastic see through cover over that prevents moving the dips have triple checked thanks though

Screen flip is not a DIP switch, its a hard wired configuration. There is a monitor orientation jumper then a cocktail mode jumper. You say the thing was working fine and now is stuck in one orientation, this means something is broken in the flip circuit. Its not feasable to go into detail on the numerous things that could cause this, it needs sending to someone that can look at it and fix it... if you want to repair it yourself, you will need to learn a lot about electronics, get a bunch of equipment, get the parts, docs, and be able to remove/replace the chips competently. Thats not an overnight process, unless you really want to learn all that stuff, you will have to get reading/researching.

Hi the thing I asked Andy was which board it relates to as there are 3 so if needed to send away the correct board to send or do I send all 3 assuming the rom board ? Regarding removing chips kids stuff I have heat gun etc various tools can replace smts etc at blink of an eye however I have been reading around trying to find repair logs have the schematics my issue is which of the boards do I send off or concentrate on
A. If I send of who is reliable will I get my board back etc or do I attempt myself and learn along the way I want to learn etc but finding info is relatively hard For this machine to me it's a learning curve/hobby thanks for the advice
