Stumbled into my next project this past weekend! It was a disaster at first glance, but after talking the guy down, I paid and the real fun began.
No keys, two security bars, a mountain of dust, and not even sure if it will power up.. Got it home and my buddy came to the rescue with his fantastic masterlock breaking technique, which is kind of scary actually..
Got into the back and saw the monitor (which has a ton of burn in), harness, pcb, original ps, and a newer switching ps all inside! Good start! Cleaned as much dust from everything as I could and checked that the harness was all plugged in. Flipped the switch and all I got was scrolling glitched graphics...
After about 30 mins of messing with the monitor I can see Ms PacMan running!! (though there's still a bit of curl on the right edge of the screen)
So far so good! Now what to do with the painted cab?
