"this game was just recently shopped...."
OK, so what all does this mean?? Does this mean that that someone checked and verified all of the fuses and chips were good? Or that they just vaccumed the dust off of the boards and the monitor chassis (or dropped them in the dishwasher)? Or even further, that they just looked in the back of the cab and said "mmm-hmmm mmm-hmmm, looks good to me" and really did nothing at all.
The reason I'm asking this is, from my 'limited' knowledge of this hobby/art, I know there's not much you can do to prevent electrical components from failing. When they die, they die. Yes you can keep things clean to prevent any fires or overheating, but what else can you really "shop" on a game that's functional at the time that you are checking it?
(oops may have forgot one- I know you can check the battery on the power supply in many games to make sure it hasn't oozed its charge essence all over the place)
