My new toy :-) with problems :-( (Xybots)
<< < (4/11) > >>
corycet:
Most likely the 5 volt and 12 volts that are missing, is not part of your problem, but all of your problem. Not sure if that game uses a standard SMPS, but if it does you can simply buy a new one for 20 bucks and have a fully working game.

That's a great game, I used to play it all the time when I was in high school. I would think that game has a switching power supply so like corycet said, swap it out. The weird thing is, why does the audio board appear to be powering up if your getting no 12 volts? Also just to be sure that the board isn't dragging down the power supply, maybe you should disconnect the power from the board and quickly meter for 5v again right at the power supply. Just don't let the power supply run long with no load.

I thought that kinda weird myself. I don't get any sound at all, jus the LEDs.  We'll see. I already pulled out the ps (switching). So I'll jus replace it and go from there. It's cheap enough.
MLew:
Anyone know where I can score a good deal on a switching power supply for an atari game?
mgb:
Its been a little bit since I last bought one but if I remember correctly, the best prices I found last time were from Jammaboards.com and twisted quarter. You may also wanna look at Lizardlick and Dive masters site.
