Nephasth:

Schematics and basic electrical troubleshooting. You're right, it's not rocket science...

mgb:

Ok, good luck.
 When going through the grounding, make sure you have a multi-meter to check for ground paths.
I know on some of the wires, you said that you can't see where its going. Those times, it really helps to have a meter.

lostinarcade:

okay status update.
got myself a multimeter just to be sure things are connected.
connected, ground wire to the transfomer, the monitor chassis, the monitor frame and also the powersupply for the gameboard.
also i did disconnect the game powersupply and remove the gameboard from the cabinet to be more safe, but still got the ground attached to the powersupply, anything metal im grounding to be safe.'
also checked the jamma harness to make sure its wired correctly and it looks good to me.
sofar pc did not blow up or anything. switched it on and off about 20 times sofar..
thanks guys for the help.  :applaud:

but now i cant get it to display at 15 khz.   :banghead:
maybe its the intel onboard display or some software settings. ill just open a new threat for that,if i cant find any answer with my searches.


mgb:
