Most likely your power supply voltage is low, which causes the computer to freeze up.

This time when the computer locked up, it turn on the right sling shot. Most likely you have a incorrect fuse in the game which did not burn quick enough so the coil melted.

You need a DMM, a soldering iron and some board repair experience.

Before you can turn on the power again you need to remove the power from the bad coil, other wise it will keep on smoking. Just cut and tape one of the bad coil's wire.

Also post a pic of the power supply.

Very possible. You need to figure out why the game locked up in the first place.

I'm guessing that the 5 volts is low, or you have a cracked solder joint. You need to measure the 5 volt test point.

Switch the DMM to DC volts setting, black lead to ground and use the red lead for testing the test points. I highlighted the test points for you on your pic.

It looks like someone has recapped the power supply. They didn't install C-9 correctly tho.

Let me know what you find.

Polarity is right, its just that they didn't use the radial holes. I can be a bit anal that way.

Yep!

There is a five volt and ground test point on the cpu. Check the voltage here.

I would pull the cpu board out and look at the solder joints of 1J17. Reflow if they are questionable. Then lay board on a flat surface press down on all socketed chips. This will make sure that a chip hasn't come loose. Reinstall and test it again.

Playball!
