What happened here? (PICS)
urbecrisch:
I was over by a friend's house yesterday to replace his coin lamps with new 12 volt LED's. He owns a Golden Tee Fore 2005 cabinet. Since he's purchased it from a reputable Ebay seller, he has had no probelms with the game.
With the game powererd up, I was moving around a coin lamp in the coin door when all of a sudden the lamps turned off. I looked in back of the CAB and noticed the power supply did not have it's POWER light on indicating that it had power (PIC). Also the power supply fan was not active (PIC). I never looked at the monitor to see if it was running when I was moving around the coin lamps but the monitor does not work now. There is a GLOW in the neck of the monitor but the screen itself is blank.
The betabrite also does not work but the lights on the marquee work as well as the florescent light under the CP to light up the TB and buttons.
So what happened? Did the power supply go dead? How?
I need your expertise! Thanks.

All of the modern power supplies are designed to shutdown in the event of a short circuit or overload. Perhaps you momentarily grounded or shorted the light socket terminals or your LED was a different polarity.

Thanks for the help Ken.
So did this damage the power supply unit? How can I get power back to the game?

Turn off the power supply, unplug the AC cord. Wait a minute and plug in the cord and turn on the supply. If you are lucky it will reset and you will be good to go. If it does not reset you may have caused a short that still exists and it will have to be cleared before the supply will power up again.
