I ask because I have one and I'm curious what the 2 LED's are for. My game isnt getting along with it and the "SB" lamp is on. Anyone know?
 
Standby... for when the PS is receiving power, but isn't on (which nobody actually uses, since the soft-power switch is hard wired to 'on', so the PS comes up as soon as the game is turned on).
 
Thanks for clearing that up Mark. Any ideas what my problem might be? The game works most of the time using this adapter and working all the time with the original power supply. I'm thinking a bad connection, maybe my connectors in the game are sensitive? I dont see anything physically wrong with the adapter. Voltages seem correct.
 
I have mine in Tron. It works most of the time but occasionally boots to garbage on the screen. Sometimes it will come back to life by turning it off and back on. Other times I have to play with the connector to get it to come back.

I'm leaning towards the connectors at this point. My original PS works, but blows 3/8 amp fuses in an hour or two. Works all the time with a 1A fuse. Ive had to replace a few other connectors in the cabinet already, maybe its time to replace these also?
 
If it doesn't come up, try reaching inside and hitting the reset button, and see if it's just an issue of the reset pulse coming from the adapter not being long enough.
