Right forum now 
Alright, so I have a client with 2 Pole Positions. We would like to get at least one fixed.
Machine number 1 clicks on and off by itself and an orange wire from the isolation transformer smokes out and the insulation melts and burns.
Machine number 2 starts off with a very slow moving fan, gradually progressing into a rather fast and loud fan. Nothing shows on the screen and the game does not boot.
I have taken both boardsets and tested them to have at least 1 functional boardset, so that narrows it down to the power supplies. I am assuming machine 1 needs a whole new power brick to start off with. But for the second machine, explain to me step by step how to go about replacing the power supply/ARII's or getting the right voltages to the boards. I have heard about using a standard computer ATX power supply. What truth is there to this and how does this work?
