I picked up an asteroids that was not working, if you read my previous thread, here are a couple pictures, including one of the back.
I finally got around to checking some voltages last night. The board is getting 5.01 in each spot where there should be 5 volts.
When I turn the machine on, I'm getting both start lights solid, and the light on the PCB is lit. Spot killer is not on. I took out the PCB, and started going over it and taking out the socketed chips. There was some definite corrosion and a few legs had even broke off of some chips. That solves my question as to whether or not the board is good or bad.
My monitor is glowing. However, when the board was removed I fired up the game to see if that spot killer light came on on the deflection board, and it did not. It is my understanding that it should have, since there was no board feeding it a signal.
The monitor is a G05-802.
Where do I go from here to continue to troubleshoot this monitor? I want to have it for sure working by the time a game board arrives that is known working. This is my first vector.
