Well, maybe not "killed" exactly, but it seems pretty bad:
So, I was replacing a G.I. bulb around the filing cabinet (from underneath), and I let the bulb housing get away from me, touching something around the filing cabinet's optical boards and causing a spark. (Yes, the machine was on; lesson learned.)
After that incident, the game will no longer boot up. In fact, when powering on, it makes no sounds whatsoever, and the DMD doesn't show a thing. On the I/O Power Driver board, the L204 LED is blinking, and the G.I. Relay is clicking in unison. (The playfield lights also flash in unison.) The other 4 LEDs on the board (L203, L200, L202 and L201) light up solidly, except for L202 which dims a little when the G.I. Relay clicks.
On the CPU/Sound board, the L201 (+5v) LED is lit solidly, but the L200 LED is dead.
I have pulled every fuse in the game to check for continuity, and they all check out fine.
I am bummed out. What a silly little mistake...
