The voltages can still be good but there will be AC riding all over those lines. Same as with the Atari Big Blues... the games will still work but it's putting way more wear on the boards than necessary and shortening whatever life is left. That's pretty much the situation he's in right now, yes? Good voltages but boards not working?
The power supply filter caps don't burn open, they short dead and stop filtering anything.
Plus he didn't specify if those readings are at the boards or straight off the transformer.
hammyysu:
i did check the board and i am getting some readings but not very high.. what do i do if the monter filers are dead.. i can't find another power supply anywhere.. pluse there are black boxes mounted to the side of the cabinet that get really hot are they suppose to get that hot?
