Just bought this from a klov'r and played it for 20 minutes last night. As I was, the screen would stretch/zoom slightly then go back to normal. Figured it was nothing.

Started playing this morning. 10 minutes in the screen went black. The music/game kept going for another minute or so then cut out.

Now when I flip the switch on the back, only the marquee turns on.

I checked the fuse by the switch and the one on the back right (looking from the back) of the monitor. Both are still intact.

What happened?!

It's this cab.

Was told it was converted from a Donkey Kong. There are extra wires/connectors inside.
 
I switched the marquee plug and the monitor plug to see if the jack was messed up. The marquee works in either plug. So I guess that is OK...

I don't understand why nothing cuts on now after both things stopped at slightly different times.
 
Stupid question: How do I check that? I have a multimeter. Do I leave them in or take them out? What should they show? Which setting do I leave the meter on?
 
Verify that the power supply is actually getting power. I find it difficult to believe that both the power supply and monitor stopped working within minutes of each other, there must be a problem elsewhere.
 
Took everything out. All the stuff tested fine. It's not blowing fuses.

Put it back in, still no video/audio. Just the marquee.

Help!!! I'm at a loss.
