Here are a couple issues we are having at the arcade with our two vector games.

Battlezones monitor would be fading in and out sometimes it'd stay bright for a few days other times you couldn't see it at all for a few days. After a move it was continuing on the same path but recently it gave out all together. I checked the fuses and they looked corroded so i just replaced all of them anyway. This caused the red led on the monitor board to stay on for a bit with nothing displayed and then it finally went off. It was not on at all except for a split second at power up with the old fuses. It's back to being that way now as well.

Asteroids Deluxe we just got the pcb boards back from being repaired. Installed them and the game would power on but the monitor has a circular faint strobe and the start buttons fade with the strobe. Here is a video of what it's doing.

Thanks for any help, Our resident helper is out of town and we just had a grand opening last week. Of course with any business all of the problems waited til the day before opening. :)
 
Can't barely make out that it's an arcade machine on that video.

Looks like power problems to me. Did you do the usual stuff ?

The ar board should have tested ok we sent that with the pcb. There isn't really anything to make out in the video what the monitor is doing is actually amplified in the video.

Also we haven't checked the boards in the bz since a lot of vector games aren't compatible like that.
