Changed Jamma boards, Machine wont power on

(1/2) > >>

HonestRyan:
Hey Guys,
  FTPLTL.  I bought a Dynamo Cab that was once a SF3, Then Vampire Savior, and then Xmen vs SF.  The game and everything worked perfect and i played it for about a week.  I ordered a 1000 in 1 Multiboard and last night I put in all new controls, cleaned up the wiring, and then Rewired everything by the manuals Jamma Layout (just the controllers nothing else).  now that everything is plugged in and seems to be in the right place, I plug in the machines old power supply and the ATX power supply that comes with the new board, Cross my fingers..... and nothing.

Nothing turns on, monitor doesnt turn on, new power supply doesnt do anything, no fans or lights on the new board nothing.  im kinda clueless here and only went this route because I was told it would be the most absolutely easiest way to run a mame cabinet.  any help and I would definately appreciate it.  Pics will follow soon after i get it working and i will have a full write up.

Thanks!

Sounds like you have no power at all.... start from the wall outlet and work your way in.

Are there any sfaety interlock switches where the back door or coin door are?
If so, PULL those out one click if you have the back door off or the coin door open.

Turn on your power strip.   ;D

Seriously, I would pop in the jamma Street fighter board back in there.  If it used to work then it should work again.

Then I would test each Power supply separately.  How are you powering on the ATX Supply?

HonestRyan:
Sometimes the most complicated problems have the simplest answers.  I did all my working on it at between 4-7am.  I switched the Power strip unit, w/ a newer one i had and she fired right up just now.  Monitor is not syncing but there are directions in here for that.  I will post back in  afew hours w/ my progress.  ATX power supply is mounted next to the Board.  both old power supply and hte board power supply go out to a NEW powerstrip.  TY KEvin and Knave!

HonestRyan:
Wow this thing is amazing.  i found a way to control the volume when I am browsing through the Front end Menu,  but as soon as I start up a game, the Music and sound effects feel like they are gonna blast me outta my chair.  It sounds like my speakers are turned all the way up.  How can I get some speakers that I can adjust, or is there a way to adjust the speakers I got?  There is a volume control on the Board, but it only controls the volume on the front end menu, not in the game itself.  Its a Dynamo cabinet.

thanks!
