Ok, I'll admit I'm a newbie when it comes time to do electrical repairs. I just did a trade today for an Asteroids Deluxe. The guy I got it from said the cord came apart when he moved it, the person he got it from did a sloppy electrical tape job on the wires that were pulled out of the connector before he got it. He said it was playing blind earlier today, but when he moved the machine the cord came apart.
So I just got done putting it in the garage and opened up to take a look. Now I am confused because of the color change in wires. The cord coming in from the wall has a black, green and white wire - I'm used to seeing this. But when I removed the power brick to see the wire arrangement I noticed they are different - there is a brown, yellow/white and blue wire. See attached photo:
I tried to look at the schematic, but being a newbie I don't quite understand. If I read it correctly it shows BN which is AC, GN/Y which is Ground and BU which is Neutral.
So I need to clarify the following:
Which colors would be the BN (AC)?
Which colors are the GN/Y (Ground)?
Which colors are the BU (Neutral)?
After a quick search here on KLOV, all I found was a response from Dokert:
Top
1. Hot
2. Ground
3. Neutral
Bottom
Like I said, I'm a newbie so it wasn't enough info for me to give it a shot without asking for more detail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....
BTW, the guy I traded for this said the prior owner said it was fully functioning, then all the sudden the monitor went out. I've got my fingers crossed hoping that won't be too difficult or expensive to repair...
