I had it working perfectly in its new cab I took the drawer out the monitor out moved it into my house put it back together and the monitor was all out of sync and purple. I fiddled with the RGB input and it fixed it , then i put it back in the cab. When I turned it back on it was all purple again on top. i eventually figured out that I had to tilt the top up for the purple haze to go away. It wasn't too bad, but I had to fix it because the light gun wouldn't work where it was purple. I shimmed it up til the purple was gone and the gun worked. Then I adjusted the screen and screwed it into the cab. When putting the back....back on I found out the hard way that when the last owner had my cab the just twisted the wires to the interlock they bypassed and tucked them back without taping them (I can't believe I never saw them I wiped down all the wires gotta start taking them out), cause they swung down and tapped the chassis throwing sparks everywhere and shutting down the game. Found that the main fuse was blown so I replaced it and it came back on. I took a deep breath calmed down and put a quarter in.... and I swear to god (I have a witness) as soon as that soding quarter went clank in the empty coin bucket the monitor just turned off....at the same time!!! I screamed a lot of words calmed down again...figured it was the monitor fuse since I had been turning it on and off a lot, but before I checked that I found 2 more blown fuses. I swapped them and turned it back on this time nothing came on at all. before I replaced the 2 fuses everything but the monitor was powered up.....apparently by replacing 2 fuses I frackct it up. I checked the power and had none for the source. I switched out the source and the same. I don't have power at the inter lock bypass so it is the switch or the wiring I think.......thats what I do next......It was working great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Sounds like you have killed it. Disconnect the monitors power supply, does the game board power up? Can you hear attract mode?

If not check the voltages from the PCB power supply. If you have good voltages on the PSU, but there are no signs of life then the board has been damaged.

I am the resurector !!!

I traced to a dead monitor (fuse was fine) that I will deal with later and something between the line filter an iso transformer...I swapped out everything between put in a nice (brand new looking) monitor and it came back from the dead. It looks and plays perfectly...I put so much work into it ..it deserves the nice monitor. Will post pics tomorrow ...so tired ...anyone ever get anything from arcaeoverlays.com? they have the control panel overlay for op wolf. I just wanted to make sure they weren't all bonk colors or some jazz
