I picked up my TRON on Sunday from SRW (great guy, pleasure to do business with) and it was dead. So I replaced MOST of the fuses. I am having trouble locating a 375 mA Slo Blo. I checked Radio Shack, Walmart and Lowes. I put a new 500 mA fuse in it's place just to try powering up. I also cut the dreaded purple wire. I saw the self test and my son started moving the stick and I saw the stick and spinner test. Seemed to work fine. Then nothing. The cabinet still lights and the monitor powers up but no game or self test. Could the wrong size fuse be keeping it from powering the boards? The LED on the boards does not light. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
It definitely sounds like your fuse. If the L.E.D. is not lit on the board, then its not getting power. Use a meter to check the fuses. Just because it looks good does not mean it is. Set the meter on continuity to check the fuses, one lead on each end. I don't own a Tron but I do own a Spy Hunter and they use the same power supply. The power for the Marquee, coin door and the monitor are routed differently then the game pcb. None of your local area stores will carry those fuses. "The Real Bob Roberts" is where I get most of my supplies. Here are some sites that should help.

Update

Found a fuse at Lake Electronics on Central Ave in Albany. Put it in and got to play for about 2 minutes before it blew again. I think I have a power supply issue. Better grab a meter today.
