Peter Chous have a tendency to just go on the fritz and change DC output power no matter how many times you dial them back in. One literally fried my Sinistar MPU, gave me ROM issues, and fried three optos on my joystick and interface board. Get the Peter out of there first. You will live with...

Time. It’s tough. Small kids make it near impossible. You want to chill when you have a second and play your games, not fix them lol.

Mine’s effectively sitting like a brick next to my machine running an Area 51/Max Force board. I’ve effectively given up on two different boards doing similar stuff. Site 4 is something else man.

The brick itself though. The power brick (penis) I don't think has been re-"Big Blued" and such. Two new Big Blue (balls) definitely need down there. The ARII's (testicles) seem to have been rebuilt and that's why power has flowed (semen and urine) on multiple sets of ARII's (testicles). If he...

i think a urologist may be able to help. You have my sympathies.

Arcadeshop.com has the ribbon cables for Williams games deep in stock

This is likely (I say likely like we're not talking about arcade games and how vastly crazy stupid some of these problems can get down the rabbit hole) an edge connector issue. I was missing red on Atari hardware (Pole Position specifically) because the signal wire responsible for supplying...

"It...was just a fuse." Early last week my HOT line came off its terminal on my line filter in my Pole Position, contacted ground and tripped the breaker in my house sending all that voltage right back into the wall lol... After sending my AR-IIs to @andrewb for good measure anyway, I got them...

I was in 7th grade the last time this dude was on this site lol

I tried solder wick. I tried desoldering pumps. I even tried a heated/electrical desoldering pump that did everything in the same motion. Nothing beats this, OP. Nothing. I pulled the trigger on it and I have not regretted the large sum even once. It pays for itself instantly when you see what...

Thanks for the info guys

Yeah I’ve replaced many a Williams ribbon cable. Just recently my Bubbles. I wanted to see if any other culprits could be at play but I was getting power on my ROM board pretty well so I guess I can change it out with a spare I have lying around 🤷‍♂️

6, typo, yeah

4164 here we come lol

I looked at my Williams row wrong. Sinistar got angry because of it. Typical. 😒 So been dealing with flaky rugs for a bit. The game itself has no trace of the original power supply. The plate shows evidence of ghosts past but the Williams PSU is long gone it seems. I acquired the game in ‘23...

Sinistar Got my cab with original power supply assembly completely gone from the cabinet. Switcher in there. Not uncommon for Williams in the slightest. General flakiness. Freeze ups. More common Williams problems. Ribbon cables solid. Chips pristine. Ahhhh but voltages…voltages my friends. The...

I have one, sits on my Frogger cocktail! It’s really faithful!

@andrewb has slowly been joining my “mentor” list. Really without mikerk aka Mike Kessler down the road from me I’d honestly probably have gotten too frustrated/annoyed with the hobby. I’ve sponged so much from the dude’s encyclopedia of expert knowledge and experience, it’s great to have that...

This is noted. Further increasing my ability to go from “shotgun” to “precise” repair.

I visually watched CR1 burn to a crisp so that was fun…
