Cruis'n USA PSU replacement
<< < (2/2)
Jollywest:
Cheers for the info guys.
I should get time tonight to try a few things.
I did order a another 5v psu yesterday morning, so with any luck that may turn up today as well.
Jollywest:
Ok sorry I haven't been back sooner, I've only just had chance to try it.

I swapped the PSU's over and it seems fine, No blown fuse but not much else either. Red light is lit on the PSU, the 3 on Game PCB are as 1 Constantly on, 1 Flashing & 1 Off, there is 1 lit on the Drive Control PCB and the speakers make a brief noise but not a thing from the monitor, (which probably shouldn't be surprising as its a Wells Gardner U5000 as far as I can see.) I don't hear the game running either though. So I'm thinking bust monitor & faulty Game PCB at least ?

The ultimate goal for the cab is to use it as a PC Emulated Sega Model 2 & 3 Driving cab, using the existing Happ controls and FFB motor with the Immersion touchsense PCB to interface it to the PC and sell off the rest of the parts (albeit as faulty by the looks of it).

I would of liked to use the existing arcade monitor though but since it is the problematic U5000 what would be the most cost-effective option in the long run?;
1) Replace Monitor completely
2) Replace Chassis
3) Repair Chassis using 3 service kits (if it hasn't already had the repairs done, I'll post Chassis pics in the monitor forum to see if anyone can tell)

no i do not see that mod kit
it should b a resistor on a tie bar on the right hand side
for the vertical out power in
simpler just to replace that monitor completly
i have done a ton of these and truly are a pile of muffing smoking xxxx
and congrad's on the psu problem
and to the sound that could be a pile of reason's
they make great mame machine's
done a few now

Cheers Ed, I was swaying towards a complete replacement and will go for that now.
