That's an axial electrolytic capacitor.
- Just guessing here, but it's probably a smoothing capacitor for the circuit containing U122 and U123.

The "20%" markings confirm it isn't a battery.

Axial electrolytic capacitor.


Radial electrolytic capacitor.

Whew! OK, I start removing the board in a few hours...wish me luck!

OK, didn't get very far.  I'm not sure how to remove the ribbon cable that is connecting the two boards. Do I just pull on it?

I can't tell from the photo if there are latches holding the ribbon cable IDC (Insulation Displacing Connector) on the PCB.   :dunno



Avoid separating the IDC connector where the ribbon cable passes through or at the strain relief.

Thanks Scott, well, I cut the old one out and crimped the new one in. I know that's not the right way.... I'm getting 4.60 on the multimeter now. Still not saving stats though. I think I need to clear out all of the stats, I'm trying to get to the service menu (I had trouble the first time, took like 10 attempts). I'm 50 attempts in and I can't get in. When I was in the first time I set it up fo free play. The routine you need to do to get in to the menu is: While in attract mode, 1- Hold down player one button. 2 - Press and release the service button. 3 - Release player one button.  But now as soon as I touch the one player button it exits attrct mode (I'm guessing because it's in free play mode  :dunno).... Is there a work around this situation? Is there any other way of getting into the service menu? Also, is the service button supposed to add credits? Thanks.
