Chances are it's the Tantalum Capacitors. I replaced all of them on my Kickman board. The first time I powered it up I had smoke coming from my board too.I have a question related to MCR. I am currently working on a Kick, whenever I power the game up the sound board starts smoking. Game works with the sound board unplugged. Any idea what could be the cause? Also, I cannot apply credits or put it in service mode. Is this because the sound board is disconnected? I would think probably no but you never know. Thanks for any info
Look in the parts list and find anything marked TANT and replace those. Standard Axial Electrolytic Caps will work just fine.
This is the video board:

This is the CPU board:
This is the I/O board:
