Quoted from Ceckitti:What issues were you having to led you to buy the replacement? Ive been having some odd hard reboots lately on mine. Might be looking to buy an upgraded board since i play to keep the machine for a long time.
Well, I bought mine as a project. It had a burned up GI connector and several other connectors and pins on the PS were charred too. It was in a tattoo parlor before I bought it, and it was still incandescents at the time. So my guess is that it got left on all day and possibly overnight and stuff burned up.
The PS was very crispy looking and was gonna require at-a-minimum a lot of new pins. So I decided to go ahead and buy a new PS. I still had to re-pin a crap ton of wires, and replace several burned connectors outright. But I figured having a new PS would eliminate some variables and then I could still attempt to repair the old one when I found the time or motivation. Hasn't happened yet! Plus the game had other issues too, so having a few less things to do was handy.
There's a certain point where a person has more money than time!
