Ill try the konami board 2moz to c if that works? also ive got the manual and it says check for bad connections and corrosion which they do look a bit dirty, but when in test mode it registers the buttons and joy sticks?

Top man thanks for your reply!
There was no way i could of got at the back door key so its off with no damage thank god!
Ive found the monitor manual online but havent had time to play with it as ive stript the machine down to clean it up ready for painting but thanks anyway.  I met this man the other day that said the machines need warmth as it had been in a garage for sum time so i took the pcb in2 my house and left it air and get heat if that'll help?

u wish! u got ne idea?

Just bought my second arcade 2day! so
Its a Midways Total Carnage original
Anyway i was told in the description that it powers and plays but GFX problems so when i got home and pluged it in there was power.
Then when i put a coin in it coined up but none of the buttons are working?
I went into test mode and the joysticks and button were working on that but only showing p2 setup even though
when i pressed p1 joystick and button there were sounds.  I am new to all of this and any help would be grateful!
Thanks for your time

I picked up my first cabinet last week for only £80's so i believe i got a as it came with a neo geo 6 in 1 board with 4 games that he just gave to me as he was selling for someone else.  He didnt know if they worked? Its a jamma cab with Golf greats by konami which is alright but i just wanted a cab that wasnt too far from my house.  I watched the auction episode and i was shocked how cheap things are over in the states, as they are mental prices here and the delivery charges are as well The bloke didnt havent the keys but coin door was open so i could play a bit.  After waiting a week i decided to drill the lock off which worked only to have the bloke txt me to say he was posting the keys i was going to buy new keys anyway.  Ill get some pictures up soon to show my progress but so far this is what ive done.....

1) Changed the marquee blub and cap which worked! Let there be light!

2) The power cord was in two parts and kept tripping the power off in the garage so got new cord and plug and wired them up, which didnt trip the power! Lucky im an electrician but most people could do this anyway.

Next job is to clean up the cab and start sanding all the metal pieces for painting.

Questions - My monitor just doesnt seem to be giving a perfect picture and its only today i opened the back but any suggestions would be appreciated as there are a load of knobs and im not sure what to turn.  Ill get the model tomorrow and get back..

Also as im new to this i pluged the 6in1 to my jamma and had a grey screen with a few black blocks on it? Keep in mind this has been in someones garage for a while and ive only plugged it in the last few days if that makes a difference?

Also picking up next cab which is a total carnage on monday for a bargin but ive been told it works but has some gfx problems? any suggestions?

Thanks for your time
