Haunted House
Gottlieb, 1982Really need some help , just pick up a Haunted House , my first system 80 pin.
It have the Pascal Janin board , all the fuse are good , all the GI are lighting up but game does not boot and there is no display , if i let the game on for a little while i can hear the attract sound but that s it.
Should i start with re pinning the connector or looking for something else ...
Mike
Well my machine is equiped with only sound board and Pascal Janin 4 in 1 board , the connector are all original except one , you think I should start with this ?
Where do i check the voltage going to the board ??
I dont know from which connector is coming the power , but i see power leds ground and 12 V are lighted when i power on the machine.

Wow, I'm sorry! Comprehension problems today. The others are right, check that the board is getting the proper supply from the transformer.
Haunted house has two, I'm speaking of the larger.
A2J1 is looking a little funky. Board has test point for ground and bvoltages right in the section with LEDs.
Quoted from bingopodcast:A2J1 is looking a little funky.
Is that what plug it is? I'm not drunk enough to see that last pic.

Did the Pin work when you picked it up? If it did, I'd recheck all your connections and connectors to make sure they are going to the correct location, they are installed correctly and the wires are inserted into the connector contacts securely. Might also be a good idea to use a magnifying glass and sheck all the contacts for corrosion, damage, etc.
Since you have a Pascal replacement all in one PCB, I tend to think that the Pascal PCB is OK. Pascal's PCBs are rock solid and he has designed a lot of safety features into his PCBs to avoid having coils lock on, etc.
if it didn't work, well, we're all here to help out.
pdman , the pin was not working when picked up , the previous owner had it for 1 year and it always worked ok but when he moved it to a shop it stopped working , all connectors have been double checked , just made some voltage test on the board , most are ok except the TP for 8V , give me 0.16 v
Quoted from bumgahdna:connectors connectors connectors. I see they are original. You can replace these with standard .156 pins. that may eliminate a lot of your issues.
^^^ What he said.
Combined with what was previously posted -- plug at A2J1 looks pretty gnarly and would probably be the easiest of all of them to replace. Probably good idea to repin or replace them all ... but that black double sided bugger can be the tough one to repin (pins are NLA).
