I started to experience the 5v reset issue.
I shotgun replaced all the BR and caps recommended in Clay's guide, as well as added all of the jumpers just to be safe while I was in there. I also replaced the voltage regulator at Q2.
I now have good voltage on the 5v, the 18v but 12v is messed up.
TP1 has a reading of 16.9 vdc. TP3 has a reading of 1vdc. There is no +12v led lit.
So the game boots and gives the classic check fuse F114/115.
Can someone tell me where I should be looking??
I reseated all connectors including the ones on the transformer. I check diodes D1/D2 and they are ok.
The only thing I can think of is the Q2 voltage regulator is faulty or somehow U20 on the CPU is bad. But that doesn't seem likely because the 12v was fine before I started working on the power driver board. Now I'm second guessing every part and solder joint.
Thanks for any input!
