OK, I restored a working GORF machine. I was putting the finishing touches on it when I noticed frayed wires near the larger edge connector that plugs into the IO board. I turned the machine off, got out some heat shrink tubing and connected/ covered the bare wires. Turned it back on, the game played blind. I tried reseating, removing, etc and still the same. Game played blind. Sent my RGB board, full wiring harness and IO board out for repair. All 3 were tested/working and new connectors were crimped on. Got them all back, plugged them in, still playing blind. Monitor was lit up yellow, sounds could be heard in attract mode. Sent all 5 boards out for repair, all 5 were tested and working. Decided to rebuild my power supply board. got it all rebuilt, unpacked my board stack, plugged it all in and now it no longer even plays blind. Monitor powers up, lights all power up, no video, no game sounds. The only hitch I had when rebuilding the power supply, is that smaller voltage regulator's legs were too damned short to poke thru the board when the screw on the heatsink was in place. I just melted more solder into the holes, and with the middle leg, I actually had to add a clipped capacitor leg to bridge the distance of less than half a millimeter.
My question is, where should I be testing voltages and what should I be getting?
My second question is, could the tranformer/ power brick be bad? The AC for the lights and monitor seems fine.
My 3rd question is, if all else fails, can I get someone to take a look at my power board/ 5 board stack and RGB board and see if they all work together in another working machine? I can send them all to someone in a flat rate box.
