    I am making good progress on my machine and hopefully down to my last issue. I've read lots of posts and repair manuals but can't find my exact problem. As soon as the game is turned on, there is a very loud buzz - this isn't background noise (the most common complaint I found) there is no music or sound, only the buzz. Ive checked all the grounds, the grounding screws that hold in the circuit boards, checked connections, etc.

    I am continuing to read posts and manuals but hopefully someone knows a shortcut or idea. Thanks in advance.

    Very loud humming at power on.
    My Judge Dredd is doing the same thing.
    I have the replacement caps but have not installed them.

    In prior posts, I openly admitted to being a newbie. Because of that, I don't like taking anything apart unless I have too. HOWEVER.... once I removed the sound board to check caps tonight, I think even a 10 yr old could figure out the problem... This *might* be the problem.

    Quoted from rw68rsconv:

    Yes, but the root cause of this 'might' be a shorted capacitor C28 or C47.
    When you want to replace those, best replace all 4 higlighted capacitors. (tantalum 1uF 35V)
