My Joust is cursed, I swear. I had problems with the power board, I sent it away to be rebuilt, it worked for a while then it died. I traced the issue to the connector that goes from the transformer to the power board. I just replaced that, it powered up great, My wife and I played a few games and I left it on. It ran for about an hour, now there's garbage on the screen, all power LEDS are on, the number LED thing on the board is dead.
I tested fuses, one was blown, the one right in the middle. So I tested power going to the power supply board, they were all really close or dead on. I replaced the fuse and tested power going off of the power board (RJ2) and everything is great besides the 12v. Both + and - are 13.67. I don't know if that's too high but it seems the game would boot anyhow, wouldn't it?
So.. any ideas? What should I test?
Thanks.
