Hello fellow KLOVers. I just picked up a dead but complete Neo-Geo and am attempting to bring it back to life. When you turn it on, the power supply does nothing. There is no power being output and the fan does not spin.
The previous owner bought a new power supply from HAPP and it too did nothing. When I got it, it came with both power supplies. Upon closer inspection, I found the power switch in the cabinet was wired BACKWARDS. I mean to say the wires where crossed. I wired it the correct way and tested for proper continuity with a multimeter. I now know that the switch is working and the wiring going to it is fine. It still won't come on.
EDIT: Here is a picture for clarity:
Insted of brown and black being connected and blue and white being connected, brown and white where connected and blue and black where connected.
I took the power supply out of the cab and bridged the two separate connections for the power switch on the power supplies harness with bits of wire and it still won't come on. I tried resetting it's 5amp breaker and I even opened it up looking for any obvious signs of death. No burn marks or popped caps and the one fuse inside is still good.
Is it possible that having the power switch wired in this fashion killed the new power supply? Should the power supply be able to power up without a load as long as those switch connections are bridged?
