Well i took some time to look into why Colony 7 isnt working. On powerup, marquee works, coindoor lights work, monitor comes on, with screen all white. There is a game board, and a cpu board. The led lights on the game board will not come on unless the main power plug on the cpu board is disconnected. When i plug that plug into the cpu board, the led lights go out. Playing with the plug, i heard a few game sounds, but somethings not right. The power supply board has a few cracked fuse holders, but the voltages are all correct.
Im reading that you cant just install a switcher in this game? It requires 5, -5, 12, and -12 volts. Modern switchers dont have -12 volts i guess????
I did reseat all the chips and plugs, coin counter also works when coins inserted. Im thinking i need those led lights on the board to stay on, but the manual isnt very specific. Also, there was no battery, so i installed a remote battery holder.
Any suggestions apprexiated as usual!!!!!!!
