neo geo machine will not turn even after i put in a new power supply..
FrizzleFried:
I can't put my thumb on it, but something is out of place. This guy was wanting to build an entire cabinet with $40 recently...then all of a sudden he has $150 to buy not one but THREE arcade cabinets, and then the next day he had the dough to buy a "brand new" arcade cabinet PSU.
Is there some chain yankin' going on here?

Yes, the service switches break all the time. It's pretty common for someone to just take it out entirely... but just as common for it to be hanging there by the wiring in three pieces and preventing a working game from powering up.
