Or even a picture of this installed would be nice. --- End quote --- I'm not being condescending, and I've given rather detailed instructions. I've stated that the cap goes on to the power on switch pins. A picture wouldn't work, because it varies from keyboard to keyboard. Actually...now that I think about it, I did post a picture some months back of it in place, let's see if I can find it... Ah... No, that's not it, but it give a good diagram of what I've done. Let's keep looking... Ah, here we go: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=19304.msg163629#msg163629 I tackled this problem a year ago. Got a four page thread out of it. |

It really shouldn't be that hard... Unplug the ribbon cable from the MB, then take an Ohm meter and test which leads short when the power button is pressed. Problem solved. |

So many I'm not going to list them here! Begone, I have thwarted your plans! (Okay, that's a good idea.) |
