Every time I power on my strikers 1945, it will not get pass the boot up screen. It stays stuck on the point when it check the security chip. I assume the chip has malfunctioned/died, is there any method out there to bypass/replace this chip. The chip in question is not surface mount, it is socketed.

Make sure the chip is seated correctly..and that the cart connectors are clean..

What Mobo are you plugging this into..Bios Chip type..?

Is it a S1945+ MVS cart or a standalone S1945 JAMMA PCB?

Off the top of my head, those chips are protected from dumping, so I don't think a replacement would be available unless you pulled it from another PCB. Midway used those same chips as security chips for their mid-late 90's games, and as far as I know, noone has been able to make replacements yet.
