Are the boards in these machines interchangable? I have someone with a non-functional Asteroids and I was wondering if I could throw his board in my Asteroids Deluxe to test it. His board, in his machine, isn't even lighting up the LED on the MPU...
 
Thanks for the quick reply!

The diagram on the link helps alot. If I am reading it correctly, I should be able to place the board in my machine safely to verify it powers on as all of the voltages/grounds line up.

The board gave no power indication, and I didn't know what the pinouts for the connector was when I was on-site, so I didn't check the power supply. I figured I could drop it in my machine just to see if the board does powerup or not. If not, I can send it out for repair and check the power supply on-site next time I stop over there.

I currently have no monitor in my machine, so I couldn't play either way... lol
 
Yes you can swap them for testing. Some of the control panel inputs are swapped and the audio will sound slightly different, but either board will run in either cab with no harm.
