I picked up a cheap dart star 2000 board that has been upgraded to the spectrum genesis 1994 electronics recently because Im hoping to start playing darts again. I knew it would be a project, it was missing the matrix, monitor and the guts of the player select button. Besides that I think it is all there. Anyway, been trying to trouble shoot it so I can figure out what parts I need to order. Im hoping someone has a wiring diagram they could show me, there has been some stuff unplugged and the power supply wasnt wired up right to the power cord. What Ive done so far is get the power supply cord wiring fixed, took out the player 4 button guts and moved them to the player select button and guessed on the connections on that. So I got the peter chau power supply to light up, The florescent board front lights to come on, the small black box led to light up and the player select button to to light up solid when I plug it in. What I havent been able to do is get anything to show up on a lcd monitor that I connected or the player select buttons to show anything. I would think a newer lcd monitor would work wouldnt it? I know the electronics are from 94, but I thought that stuff was all backwards compatible. Also is there a power on switch?. There was a push button hanging behind the coin door that had wires routed up to the board, but it was unplugged. I plugged it in to a header that looked the same and it was close to where it was wired to, but it doesn't seem to do anything for me. The main board doesnt seem to have a status led and with no display I am kind of stuck. It sounds like the complete electronics upgrade for the newest stuff isnt that expensive from what Ive read on the board, but I would prefer to go the route of just a button and a matrix for now and save some money. Just want to make sure my electronics actually work before buying stuff. Also could a bad battery cause it to have no display? Any help I can get would be great, thanks
