Hi;
I had a working Donkey Kong that I converted to a Popeye, (for my son). I wanted to bring it back to a DK and when I put the PCB in the cab, it did not work - will not coin up and no display.
I received the usual "spring" type sound when power is first applied but no display. I removed the HS save kit that was installed on the PCB but received the same initial start up sound but again, no display. The test feature does not work either, no display.
I replaced the ribbon cables and CPU with known good but still received the same start-up sounds with no display.
The PCB is super clean and has no visible damage, I always practiced safe ESD procedures so I do not think that would be the problem.
As I said, it makes the "correct" start-up sound that it had always made but just does not work.
I would like to repair this board if possible, does anyone have any idea of what to look for?
Does this problem sound familiar to anyone else?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jeff
