Fired up the machine after a while of being idle... played fine up until I bumped the machine going after that last light cycle...
Power supply fuse has no continuity but is intact...
Replaced fused, no dice. Get a shortly lit LED on the PCB and a blue screen (not powered by microsoft!)
Battery was removed 12 years ago, along with the purple wire cut.
So in my opinion it boils down to the classic power supply issue, so I think.
The question:
Should I go the switcher route or fix the power supply with a kit from Bob?
New shiny object in the adapter board and switcher... sexy...
Purist in me says "Fix the power supply... fix the power supply"...
I certainly hope the game PCB didn't take a hit... I'd be stuck like Flynn in Legacy.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions from here?
Thanks!
