A friend just called me and said he had a candy cabinet with 300+ jamma board in it. When he moved house, he tried the cab which used to work and now it does not. He says it clicks when he tries to turn it on and no sound or picture on the screen.
He has tried to plug the crt monitor into a pc and says he may have made it worse ( trying to display a resolution it is not made for .... )
I am going to pop over at the weekend to take a look at it...
Does anyone have any advice as to what to check for. I was going to check in this order
1) Jamma edge connector seated correctly
2) PSU working correctly at correct voltages DC
3) Video and audio out on Jamma correctly soldered
4) Monitor ?
Now... how would I check the monitor ? How could I check it still works independently ?
ANy help appreciated guys as he wants to breathe new life into it.
