Help!
I inherited a beat up "Double Donkey Kong" cabinet.
Powered it up, and nothing.
Opened it, and the first thing I noticed was a red wire hanging, I could see where it had been soldered and come off. I reconnected it temporarily, and powered it back on, and of course, I got some sounds, but still just wavy lines on the screen.
The previous owner told me it needed a cap kit.
I ordered one from Bob Roberts, received it today, and performed it tonight.
Now obviously I do not understand whats going on with this monitor.
Someones torn it apart before.
There appears to be no flyback cage, or inverter board???
There is a flyback. I think the game is hooked directly to the monitor.
I am so confused by this thing.
The monitor will power on and stay on indefinitely if the game is not plugged into it, but if it is, it will power down after a few seconds.
The audio board is in perfect condition.
The caps were easy to replace, as were the transistors.
If I leave the game/monitor cable off, the sounds will play, so the game is working.
So I have the main monitor board.
I have the monitor sitting in front of me, in the vertical position.
Flyback is on the right.
To the left are 3 things, the audio board, another thing (I dont know what this is, transformer?), and then the little board with all the adjustment knobs.
Screwed down to the right of the main board is a metal bracket with something on it that has 3 cables soldered to it. Theres also a black piece with 2 knobs on it thats just hanging there. Thats all I've got.
This game (supposedly) was working.
I have everything out of the cabinet, plugged into the nintendo power supply.
I have the audio cable going from audio board to dk board, as well as the video cable.
Game is being powered by 9p connector off ps.
Monitor plugged into outlet box on ps.
Any ideas whats going on here?
The main circuit board was pretty rough looking, as in a couple corners had been broken, but it did not appear as if any components were affected.
