Hey guys,

So my Pinball 2000 machine finally arrived from Italy and as I already knew, there is alot wrong with it.
I can confirm the PC is dead, I replaced the caps but with the prisim card removed and a vga screen pluged in nothing happens. The foam pad had sagged down and probably fried the CPU. Does anyone know a replacement CPU? I would rather keep it original but have gone down the path of installing a pinbox mod to it. I have (under many hours hunched over a screen) successfully got a PC running pinbox automatically BUT when hooked up to the pinball via the parallel port, it still doesnt start the playfield up (also should mention CGA tube is dead at this stage). So upon looking at the driver board I can see alot of LEDs are out. They are:
LED 7
LED 6
LED 5
LED 4
LED 11
LED 12
LED 13
LED 14
LED 15
BLANKING LED 1

Can anyone tell me why this might be or what to start testing?

Thanks in advance

Try to get the orig. computer running - for mine I bought a replacement CPU for my motherboard on eBay. It wasn't in the correct motherboard, but the CPU is correct. I bought a whole MB because it was cheaper than just the CPU: ebay.com link: itm

Once the computer is running, if you need to replace the cga monitor, take a look at my H+V converter at www.kahr.us.
