Hi what does horizontal thick lines mean. When I power on my cocktail cabinet the game does not boot but I get a few thick lines across.

At first the screen was garbled and I read on a diagram that The Power-On-Reset (top board pin 10) must be tied to earth or the game will not run!

I found the wire went into the PSU with a few other wires I thought the power supply might not be working as it should so I cut the wire and ground it to the cab. Now the screen is not garbled but horizontal lines appear any ideas? If it is the PSU! How do I use a normal arcade psu instead of the old one in the cab!
 
Can you post a pic?

If its a bunch of solid bars, then chances are your roms are having a problem, or the sockets aren't making connection. Try reseating the roms and see what happens.

Lastly, reconnect the reset wire the way it should be - it shouldn't be grounded.
