I got an original 4 player nba jam that wont turn on. Nothing powers on. I cant seem to find the fuses for the game. I know this sounds stupid but I cant find where they are.

1) make sure you have power at the plug.

2) Make sure the power switch is on.

3) Follow the power cord into the cab until you get to the power supply. The fuses should be there. If you have a box power supply, the fuse will be inside.

4) Make sure there are not safety interlock power switches that need to be closed (like when the back door is on)...
 
Doesn't the 120V for the marquee light just pass through the power supply? IE not fused. So he should have at least the light come on right? Well if power is present.

I'm sure there are some cabs that have the AC for the light comming off the PS too. I've seen stuff wired up lots of different ways.

You probably should try to get a manual for this guy. The manual will have all of these sorts of things in it, so if you plan to keep the game, it's likely worth your time to get one.
 
And an interlock switch like modessitt mentioned can kill an entire machine as well.
The power switch itself can fail also.
 
theres 2 fuses right by the power switch on the same metal bracket. theyre black plastic caps that you unscrew and the fuses are in there. theres also a fuse on the monitor chassis.
