Just got a paperboy, and I had some questions.
1. Game powers up to blank white screen. CPU board LED light on, Video board LED off. Game has an added switcher that only supplies +5 to the CPU. Where should I start? I've seen exact cases like this in other threads here, but they were left unresolved.
2. I was poking around in the cab and noticed the marquee light assembly was unplugged from the power brick in the bottom. I plugged it in and flipped the switch. I saw a spark down by the base of the transformer, then everything went dark. I get zero life in the cab now. Checked the AC fuse that is in the power brick - the one you take the black cap off for. It appeared to be fine, though I need to officially test it. Is there a fuse somewhere else, or did I really eff something.
3. Regarding the steering assembly - it is loose and sloppy as hell. Suspecting something was broke, I took it out. It is in excellent shape mechanically. The slop appears to come from the mounting plate at the middle of the controller. It is held in place by, but not securely attached to either side of the controller. This appears to be the stock arrangement. It allows slight slop. Why? Is it suppose to be like that or is there something I am missing.
