The game plays blind if you can start a game and HEAR it but not see it. If that's the case then it's a monitor issue. If the monitor is messed up but the game will not start and there is no sign of the PCB running then it's a PCB/power issue. |

Look at this: http://www.jammaboards.com/arcade_manuals/60-in-1_iCade_Classic_Arcade_Manual_Online.pdfCheck out the dipswitch settings. If you are using a JAMMA harness and not the VGA you need dipswitch two to be "OFF". Also, make sure dipswitch four is "OFF" as that's the test mode. |

ok i looked and it turns out 2 of the dip switches were in the wrong place but nothing improved also i saw that the little push button thing on the door is broken like the wires fell off and the spring is messed up. also if i were just to switch it to a vga computer monitor would it still work to have the jamma harness connected and get stuff like the controls and speakers from it? |

One last thing, it takes about one minute for that board to boot. Are you waiting? |

The interlock could prevent the power from getting to the board. I forget, does the board have an LED on it?

Did you check the voltages at the board? |

I think he means where the interlock connect to the board to make sure its getting enough current. I'm not sure tho |

True restoration is an art form. Like any good artist you have to know what your doing. Painting a single line on a canvas and calling it a masterpiece does not fly in restoring a arcade machine. Do it right

The board needs voltage to work. Are you sure it is getting voltage?? Are you sure it's booting? |
