sounds like u blew an eprom mate, the jpm impact mother board has 2 or sometimes three program cards that slot into the mother board, the sound proms sit on one card the game proms on the other, by swapping i think u may have killed her

The Impact board may have blown,seen this happen on more than one occasion even when experienced engineers have plugged the cards in the wrong ports.

yea machine doctor is right, there not the greatest boards ever made and i too have seen many blow on repair, just poor technology imo
