Hello all,

I would like to ask you for the help to identify the cause of the problem with the burned powerboard in our Popeye. It was in the arcade game room for three months so I don´t know exactly what has happened.

Thank you!

It`s a common failure. Bad contacts are creating this kind of trouble. Just replace them -male and female connector- and everything should be fine.

Thank you for the help! I have also the information that the ball shooter does not work. Do you think that there should be some continuity?

No, they are not related at all. Make sure you replace both sets of header pins and replace the connectors with trifurcon connectors. Also might consider leds that don't draw as much current. Its a common problem.
