So, I am digging into my first Cinematronics machine. Searching through KLOV I found a great diagram for testing voltages. Everything looks OK there.
Plug up my Rip Off board, and the LED stays lit (which means there is a problem. Should turn on BRIEFLY at power up and then turn off). So I get out my pile of Cinematronics boards, and plug in an AA. LED lights and then off. Screw around with the volume and I hear "dit dit dit dah dit ..." YAY! It's working!
Power off machine and plug power to monitor. Turn it on. Nothing on the screen. Go behind the machine and realize I forgot to plug in the data cable to the monitor! ARGH! Power off, plug in data cable, and power on. Still nothing on the screen. Did I possibly damage something when I powered up without the data cable?
I will dig through the pages at biltronix, flippers, outerworld, and andysarcade.de this weekend and see if I can get farther.
Thanks!
