Pac-Man Plus down what are the differences between all the boards?

A friend of a friend pac-man plus is down. He says it has a humming noise and little lines on the monitor. He went on to say it was working fine until he moved it across the room. He say the marque is still lit up and getting power.

I have never seen the machine personally so i am not sure what kind of cab this is in.

Anyway what are the differences between pac-plus, pac, ms pac, jr pac. Can I just take one of my ms pac boards over and plug it in?
 
Yep. Pac-Plus is just a ROM swap and daughter board add-on to a Pac board - just like Ms. Pac-Man.

I went on a service call recently with a similar issue, and found two issues:

1) A ground wire had broken off the edge connector.

2) One of the 5A fuses was blown.

Fixed both and the game worked fine.

If he moved it, have him check that the connector is on the board properly, and that the fuses are good (with a meter).
 
Thanks Mod,

I just wanted to make sure I could plug in my boards to his machine. He confirmed a little while ago that his machine is yellow. So I am pretty sure he has a regular pac with the pac-plus upgrade kit.

I'll find out tomorrow when I ride up...
