Bin It.... You fried something on the board... It'd cost more to get repaired than to buy a new board.

Maybe, maybe not.  Likely you killed the sound amp chip and the video output chip.  Look on Digikey and see how much they cost.

JAMMA HARNESSES SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE KEY!!

We should make this a new rule when talking to noobs, right up there with the "monitors can kill you!" warnings.

(By jamma key, I refer to the one position in the connector that is supposed to have this little filled in space. It prevents people from connecting it backwards even if they try)
NO MORE!!

Neither one of my harnesses have the key, but they do have an arrow that denotes the board side.  I'd like to use my spare with the key, but my Jamma connector is fused with my cabinet in a way which I haven't looked into much. IE the Jamma doesnt go straight to buttons, it plugs into the cabinet at several points and then the cabinet has separate button wiring from there.

By the way, I've been very lucky then... My jamma Galaga cab doesnt have a key, and I have on many occasions plugged boards in the wrong way. Never fried anything though.   ???
NO MORE!!
