Yesterday I got in my Ms Pac Bootleg from a fellow Klover (Thanks Lou Surfer) and was anxious to try it out in my Moppet Ms pac but the seller and I agreed to wait till I send off my board to him to test. Well this morning another Klover called and said he was on the way to pick up a cabinet. Hmm I thought perfect chance to go get my last Moppet from Storage (Last one in TX) a Leprechaun. I bring it home and pull a working monitor from one of my Tug Boats. My lep had no Chasis. Plugged it in and the screen was fuzzy (I can't describe it). But it means my Video Interface board or the connector has issues. I pull the monitor to remove the Video Interface board. I remove some zip ties so I can test the monitor outisde the cabinet. I finally get it set up and plug it in....

I hear a small noise and no lights from the power supply. I see a couple connectors I had wrong. I try again then nothing. I check one of my counters and it isn't working either. I tripped the power. I fixed that and turned it back out with out the board or monitor and the 3 lights on the power supply came on. Luckly I don't think I messed anything up. Time to get some sleep for work tonight so I'll have to work on it later in the week. I'm thinking of pulling the whole harness and make a test rig and eventually put it back in the cabinet.
