Title: Whats wrong with my Ms. Pac-Man (solved)
Post by: LevelByLevel Gamer on April 14, 2019, 08:22:24 pm

Hello all! I'm new to the forum and arcade machines in general and have only posted a few times to this forum. I hope this is the right place to post the video of my mrs pac man acting up.  Here is the video of what it is doing https://youtu.be/rU-at_YWkAo

Probably power supply related. Are you running the original one or a switcher?

 :applaud: I got it!!! here is the vid https://youtu.be/FQN603_etVg it has the original power supply but that had good readings with my multi meter. Ended up being a corroded harness connection to the PCB. Two questions, should I switch the out the original power to a switching PS and should I re-tin the legs on the pcb at the harness? one leg (pin) looked like it could pull up\off and all of them had an almost burnt looking patina.
