Now you start using the "search" feature in this forum and look up your games to see what other repairs folks have done on them previously. Good luck!

Start with the power supply and measure voltages

Does he live next door to Fritz? If so, your statement will be painfully accurate. Poor bastard. *shudders*

Which begs the question, which would be more painful? If the little thing hits the target, or if it misses and jabs a cheek.

Ok I feel better with the neck glow...The reason I thought the monitor was blown is the soot like residue on the underside of the CPO.

I was happy to see a glow and not a blow...

I have my meter in hand...and the service manual...


BTW I am NOT a Male....

Oh. Okay.

Wait...now I'm confused.

the connector that gos to the monitor,its located at J2 on the monitor board is good place to start for voltages going to the monitor,look up J2 connector in the manual,grab a copy off the net.it will have a 15 pin molex connected to that.find the j2 connector (on the harness side) not the chassis in the manual and it will tell you what pin locations carry what voltages.you need a gnd of course and check the voltages.

find out the connection to the gameboard from the harness and do the same as you did with j2,and do the same with the audio boards connector.all the ratings are listed by pin location and wire color.

some voltages to the monitor chassis are vac,there are 2 6.3vac,theres 2 +25 dc and a -25 dc.

i did not check the voltages on the audio and gameboard for my cab (yet) as mine plays blind.i can tell you though that the led staying on is not good.its supposed to go off after a flash of 1 sec when powering on.if the cab emits a bad sound through the speaker also its bad sign.

theres a troubleshooting guide in the manual.look through it and absorb the info and what you read here and anywhere else.if you want to be in this game you got to learn these things.

also i think this topic is in the wrong place?

Ok took some time to look at her last weekend, I did a good cleaning of the cab and saw some water damage, I have so many projects I can't keep up...removed somr of the boards and cleaned them as well...

The consequences of that could be disastrous. I forsee two possibilities: One, coming face to face with the fact of plugging it in could put you into shock, and you'd simply pass out, or two, the encounter could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that's a worst case scenario. The destruction might, in fact, be localized, limited merely to our own galaxy, or your home arcade.

I agree... worst that could happen is a time paradox. I fucking HATE it when a time paradox happens.
