Since I received an Astro City 2 cabinet at my location it had this strange problem where it had a high pitched whine the cabinet would make after you turned it on. The whine would stick around for quite a while before going away or I could just turn the cabinet off for 10 seconds, flip it back on and then the noise would go away and it would be fine. Also when the whine was active, small, staticty dots would jump around the screen. The marquee lights

After a few weeks the problem progressed to where I would turn it on, the whine would occur for a moment and then the cabinet seemed to die - the marquee light was on but no monitor image, no whine or anything. Turn it off, then back on and it would do what it had been previously doing.

Over the past few days it's worsened to the point where I had to flick it on and off multiple times and now when I turn it on I get nothing other than the marquee light.

So I'm not sure if it's a power supply issue or maybe something else. The dots on the screen made me think of the PS in the first place but I don't know what exact part might be failing here.

Thanks in advance!
 
Anyone have an idea on this one? I am just trying to keep this on the front page.
