Cheers srarcade and Ginsu Victim - great info - and I'm pleased you have (almost) confirmed what I speculated! Now to see whether or not I can get the thing to work once it arrives - as it was marked up as 'untested' and I'm sure the person had access to a JAMMA cab I'm a little skeptical but here's hoping - I would be very, very chuffed if I can get it to work - considering this is the game (like many others here, I'm sure) that brings back a huge amount of great memories in the arcade!

Cheers guys! :cheers:




srarcade:

Good luck and stay hopefull. I just bought a SF2 CE last week that was marked "DEAD" and it arrived yesterday and powered up fine.  ;) If it doesn't come up I can post some general tips for revival.

Cheers srarcade - fingers crossed but if it doesn't work then I'd rally appreciate any advice you had to give! :cheers:

Now received this and I can tell you, in its current state is DOES NOT work - unfortunately, like I suspected!

It's a grubby old thing so I'm guessing it could do with a clean firstly... then the connection to the supergun looks pretty worn but I wouldn't say unuseable! But the thing that is alarming me the most is that in the top right hand corner, there appears to be a (diode? - I don't know what it is - it's a cylinder with three legs that go into the board!) missing - there is a white circle that is labelled with what I believe is '470w' (its a bit rubbed off - but going by the other bits and pieces nearby this is what I assume it said!) and there are just three solder holes and from the other side of the board it certainly looks as though it has been removed. Also, I'm not sure if it is anything of concern but in the second photo in my previous post, that chip has a dirty great dirty stain on and around it - I don't think this is necessarily anything to worry about though but perhaps I should clean it?!

When I powered up the board on my supergun, I got a black screen and no sound - so it is obviously trying to boot it but something is preventing it from doing so...

I'm totally new to this kind of thing but if anyone has any solutions or ideas as to how I can get this up and running I'd be very grateful! Cheers!

Updated the title to explain the situation and get more exposure to those who know this type of thing - because I certainly don't! :P
