It's funny how these 400 lb. machines make us appreciate them instead of taking them for granted. Last night I had happily turned on the eight machines in my small inside game room and played on all of them a few times. Towards the end of the night, I glanced over to Omega Race and noticed the screen was blank. Curses!
Over the years (since 2007) I've had my ups and downs with this game, enough issues to where I decided to stock pile parts for it. I'm in better shape than a lot of owners and have a broken WG V2000, a repaired spare boardset, and cap kits for both. So, I'll get this going again no matter what.
I have neck glow and I can hear vector 'chatter.' The game plays blind. I've had similar issues in the past that were fixed with simple EPROM reseating and cable reseating. That will be my first stop, if that does not work, I will to measure voltages to see if the power board completely died on me.
Time to dust off my arcade tech hat and see where it gets me.
