I've got a Raiden Fighters 2 cabinet and recently after moving it upstairs the game won't "load" for me. Instead of messing with it I decided now would be the perfect time to buy a different PCB to install. I had researched a few games here on KLOV to find something suitable and matched my current set up. I decided to go w/ Thunder Dragon since I got a good deal on the board.

Fast forward to today and the board arrived. I simply unplugged the board and plugged in the new Thunder Dragon board. I powered up the machine and when the image came up it was upside down! Is there a setting or a switch on the board that I missed? If so can someone tell a newbie where to find it on the board?

In addition to the image being inverted when I tried to press start on either player 1 or player 2 nothing happens. It flashes insert coin on the screen. Coins don't seem to work either.

Is this where the dip switch settings I saw here (http://www.arcade-museum.com/dipswitch-settings/10100.html) come in to play? How do I locate these on the board and how do I change them (if that is what is needed)?
 
Look on the board for the two dipswitch banks, they look like this, probably black tho.

They should be labelled 1 and 2, flip switch number 8 on bank 1. Do this when powered off, or you will have to reboot for the pcb to notice.

The other switches set these options...

Gosh darn it I was too slow. I was going to recommend turning the board around. :) That other idea is probably better though.
