Hi;
I'm troubleshooting a Star Wars which is blowing F2 on the power brick.
I cannot pin point the short as it comes and goes.
I get continuity from "E" on the edge connector to ground when I check with my DMM 3 or 4 times and then the 5th time, it's gone!
This happened several times and it is frustrating, to say the least.
I checked the schems and F2 (+10.6vdc) goes to the coin door, (N/C) to the coin counter, (unplugged) and to the PCB at "E".
I see that it feeds the watchdog reset, it there anything else that it feeds from that circuit????
What would cause the short to come and go like that, other than a short in the wiring harness?
Has anyone else come across anything similar?
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
