Data East / Sega diagnostic Test CPU EPROM for all Data East / Sega pinball CPU boards from LASER WAR ("Version 1") to BATMAN FOREVER ("Version 3B").
Provides in-depth diagnostics for Version 1-3B CPU board systems. The factory flash codes on original game EPROMs provide only limited detail information.
Data East TEST EPROM Instructions and Flash Codes
Scope: all Data East and Sega pinball CPU boards up to and including 1994 Sega APOLLO 13.
With the power off, replace the current CPU ROM chip with this diagnostic 27512 EPROM. Note the three LED lights in the center right of the board. The far right LED will flash as the game powers up with this diagnostic EPROM installed. Listed below are the codes for the flashing LED.
The completion of a flash means the associated chip has passed the diagnostic test. For example, if the LED flashes four times then stays lit, chip 11D would be bad.
Note there is a long pause after flash No.1 only. After all eight flashes, the EPROM will pulse all coils, lamps and flasher bulbs in the game, one at a time in succession.
Here are the original Data East instructions:
------------------------------------------------
The test EPROM for Data East/Sega CPU boards has the following functions:
When the Test EPROM is installed into a CPU board and power applied, the CPU will perform power-up self tests and then immediately go into burn-in cycles with no intervention. It is not required that the Test button be pressed in order to initiate burn-in cycles.
The power up self-test will check major components on the CPU board and flash the LED as each one appears normal. If any fail, the LED will stay on. The tests consist of a checksum test of the ROM and read/write test of the RAM and the PIA's. The PIA (Peripheral Interface Adapter) test will NOT check both sides of all PIA's since certain PIA ports are designed to be inputs and loading those ports will determine the data seen by the CPU. However, those ports designed to be outputs will be written to and read from to show basic go/no-go functionality.

The lamp(s) corresponding to the matrix position of any closed switch(es) will be turned on. This faciliates testing of the switch matrix. A short time after the switch matrix becomes clear the lamps will go back to patterns. This also means that if any switch matrix position appears closed on power-up, the corresponding lamps will be turned on after the power-on self tests for a visual indication of where problems are located.
