Hey everyone...Meg from High Scores here.
We had two games go down this same week and we're hoping you can help. First, setting the stage...
One day, we added a new game to the store, and the breaker tripped. We took a game off of that circuit and when we switched them back on, Donkey Kong powers up, the marquee lights up, but the monitor is black. It doesn't make any sound (not when you put a coin in or try to start a game). We tried to replace the fuses that we know to replace (the ones down at the power supply, and a small .03 amp one behind the monitor) but with no luck. Ideas? Do we need a new monitor?
Now on to Star Wars. Another bad power decision...we plugged more into one circuit then usual, and while the breaker didn't trip, Star Wars kicked it. The game powers on, you can hear sound when you put quarters in, but the monitor is black except for during certain parts of the game a vertical pink strip appears - it looks something is going on behind it but the monitor stays otherwise black.
These may be hella rookie questions, but we're mainly collectors with a laughable technical knowledge so help is appreciated!
