| Help Please : SF2 Arcade : Marquee powers on but game doesn't start? |
| << < (2/3) > >> |
| Malenko:
SF2, all except Super SF2 flavors, were CPS1 and didnt have a suicide battery. |

There are a few steps to go through here. You got power to the marquee light so you've got some kind of ac power present. Are there any fuses to check. Does the monitor appear to be powering up? Do you hear the static charge? Do you see the rear neck tube glow? If the monitor is powering up, then the board may not be booting. Make sure you've got 5volts at the board. (Should be like 5.1v, not lower than 5 volts and not higher than 5.2) Does it play blind? If you coin up, do you hear the game going on with nothing on the screen? Could be a shot monitor. Monitors can be repaired. |

Thanks everyone! I'll first try to answer some of the initial questions: (1) On powering up the cabinet, I DO hear the static charge and DO see the rear neck tube glow. (2) The game DOES NOT play blind. I hear no game sounds at all and see nothing on the screen. (3) I'm not 100% certain of the Capcom board but I took couple pictures here: • http://www.ryanpaulyoung.com/SF2/SF2-Board1.jpg • http://www.ryanpaulyoung.com/SF2/SF2-Board2.jpg • http://www.ryanpaulyoung.com/SF2/SF2-Back.jpg (4) Unfortunately I do NOT have another jamma board to swap out or test. I purchased a decent multimeter (sorry, this is my first rodeo :banghead: ) and am very confused by what I see so far. While checking for AC voltage (testing the two AC screws on the Peter Chou power supply) I see the proper 128-131 volts. But when I set the multimeter to test DC (testing the ground screw and the +5V or +12 screw) I get between -0.74 volts and -0.80 volts??????? I get the same reading when I test anything on the board too :dizzy: Any ideas? If you guys need more detailed pictures, just let me know. And thanks so much for your help!!!!!! |

That is a CPS1 board. You say you dont have another jamma board, where are you located, maybe someone near to you can lend you one? |

I live in a small illinois town called Greenville, about an hour outside of St. Louis. Should I test a different board before purchasing a replacement power supply? |
