    Hi Vid, I’ve been working on a SnS that hade the issue with shock when touching another game. So after a long time troubleshooting I found that on the traffo/powersupply J2 on pin 7 hade 230v (Europe) and that should be ac-return. Pin 6 should be ac-in. Can you confirm if this is the cause to the problem? Have I solved it?
    The colors in connector was wright and on picture I have changed the ac-in to pin 6. Maybe someone tampered with the cables from the on/off switch?
