Yup, time for him to break out the schematics and check voltages at the board and coming from the ARII board.
Is there anything noticeably burnt up on the ARII board? (namely resistors)
It's the small board mounted under the main board with the big heatsink.
ChadTower:
And make sure you even have the right AR board - that could easily be one someone just threw in there to say the game is complete.
Pop Culture Portal:
Here's what I see and honestly it doesn't look right.
Notice in the second picture the wrinkled look of the back of the AR board.
In the third picture, I see day-glo orange marshmallow-cream consistent "junk." I'm assuming that's not good, either.
ChadTower:
The wrinkled look is normal - the copper traces do separate some over time. As long as they are intact you're fine.
The orange goo is probably glue. Heavier components often get glued to the board to stop them from breaking off. Why they would glue one but not the other, who knows.
You're going to want to rebuild that whole AR board anyway so you'll be replacing all of those capacitors.
SirPeale:
If that's a Sanyo monitor, the connector on is is very tiny and you won't be able to use the Sanyo anyway. Couple that with the missing inverter board, and you're double screwed.
Looks to me like that monitor was just tossed in there.
And note the ground wire soldered directly to the PCB. Check the harness, was it clipped there too?
