System 1 Atari Cabinets (Indiana Jones) garble issue?

Assuming I need some type of power fix on this, anyone have any idea? I used to just jiggle a wire and get it to work....switcher a good idea or is there a board I can replace/repair this with for power?
 
It might help if you were a bit more descripive of the fault, you have told us nothing, wtf does "garble issue" mean?

Garble on the screen, letters and numbers. I didn't know garble meant anything else, lol

Well we are not psychic!

Anyway it is more commonly used to describe corrupted audio. Most likely cause is mis-seated ROMs, or bad system RAM.
 
Really? Over power? I just moved the machine 15 feet....

Again - we are not psychic, this is the 1st time you have mentioned you have just moved the machine.

Something is not seated correctly, it could be anything from chips in sockets to ribbon cables. It is always worth ruling out the power tho, moving things can make connections worse and what was suddenly on the bordeline before you moved it is now below the borderline. Check you are getting 5V at the board.
