Atari Centipede Cocktail table game has no power

The +5 0v is why your PCB is not responsive. You and bperkins need to get the ARII functioning correctly. That should get us power to the PCB.

Hopefully the PCB is fine and just not getting the power it needs right now.

If you have down time waiting for parts, you could check any fuses on your monitor chassis. With power to the plug that monitor should be firing up.

Agreed  - the monitor stands alone.  You should hear it start..

Also, your edge connector contacts look okay in the pics. You might want to take a good look at them and make sure they are clean.

This thing is excellent - I wish I knew about them years ago..  use it like a pencil eraser to clean contacts.  I've needed this for 30 years..
Just used it last week because the TV remote wouldn't charge right...  cleaned the contacts
Mike A:
Yeah. Those work surprisingly well for arcade PCBs.

It is easier than chemicals and a stiff toothbrush.
