Fish Tales
Williams, 1992I was in the middle of a game of fish tales the other night and the machine just died mid game like a fuse had blown. checked all the fuses and they are all good. could this be a fried board of some description. Have no idea where to start looking. its a broad question i know but any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Quoted from mickthepin:Did the ribbons.what would the board look like if it were fried
Black or brown Burn marks
Quoted from mickthepin:without a multi meter does anyone know where i sould go from finding out that the fuse in the line filter blows instantly when i turn the machine on.
You should go to radio shack to buy a multimeter... you've got to track down an electrical problem, you're going to need one.
And you should be looking for a problem on the power board or transformer - unless someone has jumpered around the fuses or replaced them with bigger ones, a problem somewhere else would just blow the fuse on the power board.
Here's a case with the exact same problem. Try following this thread and check all the discussed failure points.
