Hi. New to all of this so be gentle. While quarantined I thought i'd try fixing our ultracade game. It hasn't worked for years.
Opened it up and very clean inside. Im in the process of cleaning the gaming buttons. First problem, no signal to the monitor. First took out the monitor and tested it, works fine. testing the computer, I attached a monitor to the VGA output and got nothing. Computer fan and harddrive are spinning. I tried to take out the RAM Board and boot it without ram but its under the CD drive. Swapped out the 3v battery. LED on board is lit.
Question, Do all the micro-switches need to be in place and functioning for there to be an output from the computer?
The game history is It was at a church youth center I worked at. It functioned fine on free play. I got it from the youth pastor who was changing things to Play Station. I wanted it for the Asteroids and other old time games. Got it home and shortly after it stopped displaying. Thought it was the monitor. I've checked all the connectors, Know I have some bad switches.
Any help is appreciated
