POWER-UP AND RAM/ROM TESTS
==========================
Test initiated at power turn-on and after depressing RESET pushbutton on
CPU/VIDEO board.
RESULT CRT INDICATION LED INDICATION
-----------------------------------------------------
Pass INITIAL TESTS OK 4 LEDs blink twice
Fail Ram RAM TEST FAILED X--X (LEDs 1 & 4 light)
Fail Rom ROM TEST FAILED None
In either of the above two 'Fail' situations you should depress ADVANCE
in MANUAL-DOWN while the failure message is displayed to enter
Diagnostics.
ROM DIAGNOSTICS - TEST 1
========================
From game over, depress ADVANCE in MANUAL-DOWN.
