And that is a good thing <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />It could be easily a faulty connector (not getting the signal to play the sound) or an EPROM that de-programmed itself over time (they're UV sensitive for erasing). Or, what I had in my Taxi, the ROM was flipped (once) and it was destroyed this way (received voltage on a data pin).I don't know if you know anybody with a EPROM programmer, but the chip itself is $2 and the software can be downloaded from <a href="http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=856" target="_blank">http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=856</a>If all this fails there are replacements boards, maybe yours is already one... <a href="http://www.pinballpcb.com/System6-7SoundBoard.html" target="_blank">http://www.pinballpcb.com/System6-7SoundBoard.html</a>On a side note: the best thing you did, was to fire it up and play! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
