So I have a 3rd USA cab that's been sitting partially parted out. Missing coin door, dash as well as monitor. Power is dead as well as seat speaker. I got the nerve to try some cosmetic work so I gave it the old trusty craigslist restore. Dash and psu should be in on the 4th. This was my first t molding as well as paint(was still wet in pics) image0.jpegimage2.jpeg

got some more done 2day. Did the controls on two of the USAs. 2nd pic is the paired up units that also are gthumbnail_image0.jpgetting cleaned up but do workthumbnail_image4.jpgthumbnail_image3.jpg
 
2nd dash was supposed to be here today but was delayed and now will arrive tomorrow. Power supply says 7-11th so not sure when on that. I do plan to buy new pedals, buttons, steering wheels and shifters as this will be for my wife and myself. The extra cab is best condition as well as the 2nd cab so I will make sure those are 100% good to go for us and the third ill remove the extra USA pcb and add world to pair with our deluxe world cab. Also, the 3rd cab is the worst but has best monitor so will be moving that and placing into the new #1 cab. So far that's the plan so far..(EDIT: WENT ALIENS ON YOU GUYS.."THEY COME OUT AT NIGHT MOSTLY...MOSTLY.....")thumbnail_image5.jpg

So I messed up lol!!!! Wired up new psu and turned down and powered on and all good. 1 light on main pcb lit up then the 2nd to the right came one as well as power steering board light. Dash came in so I installed that and turned on and that's when it happened!!! Smoke !! so I turned off... was a loose connection on psu from moving it around so i fixed and turned back on and now it does this


 
did I fry the roms??..has no monitor in it...you guys think its safe 2 put the pcb in a working cab and check it out??
its just the 3rd extra board but still...sadness...also its hard 2 see but the light under the 2 thats flashing

What went wrong and how bad it is will depend on the wire that came loose and what other connection it touched.

Do you recall which wire came loose and did you see which other contact on the power supply it touched?
 
Id need 2 look at psu again.

would need 2 look at the psu again. But ya, total sadness lol.
 
Depending on what wire came off and touched which terminal(s) it might be feasible to repair it or not. Worth checking if you think you can recall by looking at it again.
 
I need the pedestal and seat, but the shipping is a deal breaker. Any chance you could measure it for me?
