I started messing around a little today with my Space Ace that I got awhile back. This was part of a small bulk buy, not working and condition totally unknown. Someone has done a little handy work on it here and there on the wiring. The components look to be original from what i can tell. Plugged it in and got the following : Monitor appears to have high voltage but screen is plain white when i turn up the brightness. Fan and marquee lights work and so does the score board. LD player is a pioneer LDV1000, the red light on the front is on but it does not seem to be spinning the disc as far as i can tell. The game makes one beep when turned on and there is a number 1 on the player 1 score and a 2 in the middle of the player 2 score and after a few seconds they are gone and all leds lave horizontal lines ----- except credit shows 2 credits. Hitting start button does nothing. I am guessing the LD player is toast. My first question is, what should i be seeing on the monitor if the LD player is bad ? BTW, monitor is a Matsushita , not sure if its original. This is the first LD game i have ever messed with so any advice or guidance would be appreciated. Figured i would make a quick post before heading to the manuals and schematics online.
