Okay everyone, I'm down to one last game that isn't working & I'd like to have the arcade fully functional for my boy's birthday in February. I was thinking of renting a truck & taking this to Sarah out at Pinball Wizard, but renting a truck & gas would run me $300+ without even getting the repair done...so I'm seeing if anyone out there would like to make up for some cash they've spent over the holidays I'm in Bennington, VT, 05201.
Issue: Space Lords. It's only booting up one side & sound is in & out (also on one side only). I'm a novice but have been told it's most likely a bad connection/wire/spade/fuse... I personally think the boards need to be looked at. When left as is, one screen boots up & the other is blank. When I criss-cross the harnesses & boards, instead of the same thing happening in reverse, I get one monitor working and the other stating that it's waiting for it's board to start. Note-there are two monitors and two boards, so I'm assuming one board has some issue. There is also sketchy sound coming from only one side, and unfortunately it's the opposite side of working monitor/board. All sounds work in diagnostic test, but not in gameplay. There's some shotty molex & wiring in the bundles going up to the speaker area...
Hoping someone relatively close by can come check it out/fix it at my place as it's a beast to move, and Sarah wanted me to bring the entire machine in & not just the boards. The boards are Jamma+ if that helps you think about troubleshooting. Hopefully this will be an easy fix & you'll make some cash! My fridge always has beer as well Thanks
