I purchased a ms pac man cocktail unit awhile back. Replaced the board after I bought it. I played roughly 3 games on the machine. I then moved it a bit to do some general cleaning. When I plugged the machine back in nothing came up on the monitor. I can hear the fan power on, lights by the joysticks come on, I can hear the monitor fire up, just no picture or sound. I had a former arcade technician (he claims 20 years experience) come by with a board. He installed his board and the machine worked fine. Unfortunately, this working board was already sold
So I thought my board went dead.
Sent the board back to the person I got it from, but the board tested out fine on his end. Got the board back a few days ago. When I installed the board and plugged in the machine I initially got a screen that was checkerd and jumbled up with letters and different color patterns. I gave the machine a small bump and the picture went to nothing again.
I checked the fuses today and found 6 in the machine. 5 by the transformer board assembly and 1 behind the monitor. Did I locate all the fuses? The inside of my machine looks different from the picture in the Ms Pac Man manual. The first pic is the entire insides of the cabinent. The second one is the 5 fuse box located near the trans board assembly. Third, is the fuse holder located behind the monitor. I've removed the fuses for testing. I've confirmed 5 working fuses and 1 that is not. Are the fuses the likely problem?
I've never replaced a fuse in anything and am unfamiliar with them alltogether. Which fuses do I need to buy for the cocktail unit? I'm not sure if the current fuses I pulled out are the right kind. Would the unit have even fired up if there was an unworking fuse? Thanks for the help in advance.
