Revenge From Mars
Bally, 1999I bought a Revenge From Mars yesterday. It played fine for a couple games, then would randomly freeze up then it would not boot back up until it sat awhile. Today I have nothing. The red light on the CPU is on and so is the monitor but the screen is just grey. Won't boot up or load anything just sits there. No playfield lights or anything. I reseated all connectors and ram, changed the CR2032 battery and reseated the prizm board. Right now I have a $3700 paperweight. Please help!

Check the fuses ?
Get a list of what fuses go where and make sure the right ones are in and not blown of course.

Hopefully you’re already repaired your revenge from Mars. If you haven’t it sounds very similar to what I went through with mine. I was able to repair mine by replacing the capacitors on the motherboard. After that she started right up and has been working great ever since.

I did send my computer to Rob Anthony in Denver. Says my motherboard is fried. $568 for the board plus $79 labor plus return shipping. I bought a computer off a guy on Ebay that replaced the capacitors and batteries and updated with the latest update for $500. Told Rob just to send my computer back. I'm gonna keep it for parts. Thanks for you inquiry and help though.
