Ms. Pacman - getting power, screen flashes once, hums
Howdy
I've picked up a Ms. PacMan cabinet that I can't get to boot up.
When I plug it in and have both power switches engaged, I can hear the machine sort of hum to life, but I get no lights and nothing much else happens. The monitor does flash for a split second, sometimes with a barely visible image of the maze, sometimes just a flash of white. This only happens when I turn the machine ON.
I have checked all the fuses (6 total) on the bottom - they are good (I had to replace the top 1a fuse).
I get no lights either in the marquee or the coin slots...I have not checked if these bulbs are bad.
I have also tried booting with the monitor and the marquee disconnected - same 'alive' hum but no game sounds.
Any idea what to check next? I have a voltmeter and know how to use it.
Thank yall
