Examine your main pcbs around the surface mount capacitors. I have seen a few pcbs with varying degrees of leakage from minor to trace destroying. I recommend cleaning them to remove the electrolyte and also changing the caps ASAP.

You'll notice a lot of dead pcbs for sale on ebay. I think this is the leading cause.

Also, it is just a hunch but I think this may have something to do with the seemingly inevitable loss of sound in Rev. X. I think the sound pcbs are fine but the motherboard isn't sending the data to the sound pcb. There are several caps in the area. I don't have the expertise to verify this 100%. If anyone does have the skills it would be great if you could test my theory on this.

I need to look for these dead PCBs on ebay, I have a Terminator 2 cabinet that would like another board to run in it.
 
I'm not so sure about the main board being the culprit with loss of sound. I had two that lost sound and was fixed by just replacing the sound pcb.

You can run a Rev X board in T2 game????? Is it as easy as swapping the boards?
 
I researched it looks like you need at least one of the harness for rev x as well... they are not compatible... if you are able to do this successfully I would love to hear about it. Thanks!
