Holy shiet do i have a mess on my hands.
I was playing a one player game of Daytona on my twins last night and the #2 player (which was just in attract mode) decided to melt down.
First I heard a very load 'pop' from the monitor and the player 2 games shuts off...then all kinds of smoke from under the seat and what sounds like bacon frying (ummmm...bacon....)
Turns out the power supply (Peter Chou (sp?)) decided to let go taking out the monitor (assuming the loud pop!)...boardset and at least the I/O board. I did have a replacement PS and after replacing it..I have LED lights on 'some' components. I confirmed at least the boardset and I/O board is toast in the working side.
So much for just blowing a fuse!
Talk about torn on what to do. Replacement parts, assuming the monitor is a relatively easy fix, will cost me way more than I bought the thing for. And that's assuming it's only the I/O board and boardset. Parting what's left with also easily bring in more than I have into it.
Hopefully Ken from I Repair Sega will have some insight.
Funny though...about 20 minutes later I was playing T&F and the Doctor Who pin starts flipping out. I hear all kinds of solenoids clicking and clanging...and the machine starts feeding balls into the shooter lane.
Turns out that was just a fuse..
Was a fun night in the arcade!
