I got this at a warehouse run a few weeks ago. The monitor turns on (bulb in the back glows, 'statics' on and off), the speaker comes on, and one of the coin lights comes on. I even got a new power supply, but alas, nothing.
I borrowed another JAMMA board to try out, and it gives similar results, but it seems like I'm getting nothing out of the speakers with that one.
I also borrowed this: http://www.arcademvs.com/testboard.htm (really awesome btw)
From here I can see that the speakers work and some of the joysticks and buttons are working. The 12v LED is lighting up. The -5v LED is not. Could this be the issue? Odd thing is, when I use a meter manually on the TESTBOARD, it actually shows -5v, yet the board says it isn't getting it. But when I manually test the SF pcb, it shows 0. So . . huh? I've asked this on another forum and apparently SF does not need -5v.
I've already (maybe) wasted $$ on a new power supply that didn't resolve the issue, and from what I hear good SF2's are worth just about 100 more than what I've already paid. Undecided
Shouldn't this thing be doing SOMETHING?
