Hello all. Recently obtained a cabaret that was a good candidate for JAMMA.
Bought an AC Wiring kit, DC wiring kit from Bob Roberts (great products / excellent resource) and a 465 in 1 babystar board (vertical monitor cab).
Took out all the wiring (it had seen better days), Wired up the AC / DC - before hitting the JAMMA connections. Monitor powers on, Marquee lights up, Power is there, lED on power switcher (holds 5v and 12v) activates. Good first step.
Next, wire up for JAMMA. Run all the pipes, and connect only Video and the Babystar 465 in 1 board. Want to verify that i get a picture. Leave Coin door / speaker / control panel for later.
Fire it all up... Babystar whirs, seems like its working. Monitor activates, but no picture. Kept it running for ten minutes, still nothing.
More details - the monitor is an Orion - made in 2002 (i can get model number if it helps).
The monitor is on (i adjust pots for brightness, see grey screen) but no video from the multi board.
Check the Red / Green / White / Black (ground) / Blue connections (needed to connect these up to the JAMMA) - seems tight / connected (used the crimp on connectors to join these).
12 volts is hooked up at the power block (switcher - Happ / Sanwa model - black) to the JAMMA harness which connects to Multi board.
Also, something i find strange - but i did it anyway - JAMMA harness has 4 wires (keys) for 5 volts (that is the JAMMA standare). Yet the power switcher has one slot for 5 volts. Connected the 4 JAMMA connections over to the slot for 5v. Felt like i was cramming them in, but they fit under that tiny screw.
For this newbie, who is eager to get DK and the other folks up and running, what is a good start for troubleshooting? I guess to summarize - no video at all from multi JAMMA board on new cab wire up. Unfortunately, i have no other Jamma boards for now to test against...
Thanks in advance for help on this....
