Hello, I have a Tempest Cocktail I purchased not working. It did have the fuse at F5 popped when I got it. I have since replaced it. I am not getting 5 volts at the Tempest PCB, leds are off. Fans turn on, I have neck glow, the monitor chassis's red lcd light is on. No lights on the player 1 or 2 start buttons. I tried swapping the A035435-02 ARII with the A035435-04 ARII in my working Food Fight. Did not help. I have tried researching Tempest issues online, and followed some troubleshooting flowcharts. I even tested the power brick by using Jimjaycee's Youtube video. I think the issue is with the power brick since I am not getting the 11-15 volts DC from pins 1,2,3 at the 15 pin connector. It is only putting out around .07 volts. The rest of the AC voltages checked out good (pins 6,7,8,9,10,11,13).
Is there anything else I should check? Is there something else causing this? Can I fix the Power Brick if it is the problem? I know the power brick in my Food Fight has different power outputs, any other games that have compatable power bricks? This is my only vector machine, so I am guessing not.
So far my research did not pull up this issue, any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I have included pics just in case some one sees something I dont.
Thanks for reading my post.
