Has anyone ever hacked in a switcher for the +5v on an asteriods deluxe? I think big blue is hosed..Im getting 1v of ac on the +5 under load. I really just want to hack in a switcher to test it.. I will be ordering the cap to rebuild the supply. I dont think the problem is in the regulator..

I bought an Asteroids Deluxe a couple of years ago and it had a switcher installed that was providing +5V to the main board. The +5V leg went to the +5V test point on the main PCB and the Ground went to the GND test point nearby (also on the main PCB).

Apparently this mod was needed because I was recently working on the machine, and powered it up without the switcher and...nothing...

Installed the switcher back in and the game came up, no problem.
