Got this batman data east that plays good and everything works except the display. On first glance I see really burnt connectors on the power supply board. Looks like the traces on the board are blackened and not green anymore too. Also looks like one of the fuses may be burned. I tried swapping the direction on the display ribbon cable and reconnecting the connectors on the display and Power board, but no luck. I have seen the display flash a glimmer of life, lighting a few pixels after I turned it on once, but never happened again. I've never done much repair besides soldering a loose wire and changing lights/rubbers. Never changed a fuse or measured voltages. Should I start with just buying a new power supply board or is there something simpler to check first? Thanks.

(also the thing circled in red flashes a blue spark when I turn the game off). not sure what that is or if related.

Bumpity bump bump

c'mon people

why are people favoriting this but not commenting?

I have been reading at pinwikki and the other batman threads don't have my exact issues. The game is also reseting randomly and the bg music cuts out sometimes. THANKS FOR YOUR REPONSE!! ha

Thank you! I knew someone would come through. Is it better to just replace the power supply with a new xpin one? or have the original repaired? I'll have to send off as that's beyond my skill set.

Are the new replacement boards safe or do they sometimes damage or blow other stuff out because they're made to fit several games instead of mine specifically? Definitely looks like CN1 is burned and I found a new issue on the sound board. Capacitor or something leaked and messed that up too. sheesh. Does that look fixable or just replace that board as well?

well I sent all the boards out and had them repaired/checked. I changed the burned connectors too and still nothing on the display. So...ribbon cable or bad display i guess? Is there a way to check the ribbon cable without just buying a new one?
