Quoted from ForceFlow:

It did leak. There is a large area of battery damage to the left and right of the battery. All that discoloration is corrosion.
That's probably the main problem right there as to why the game won't boot.

OP never said it wouldn't boot, only prob he mentioned was half the lights aren't working after it was moved. Looks like the left side of the GI is out. A noob will have that diagnosed and fixed in one day with our help. And yes, that connector (all of them) should be replaced on the rectifier board. As well as removing the battery.

You could touch up that pf yourself too - I wouldn't expect a new pin owner to run out and buy airbrushing equipment to start doing pf touchups, that's up to you. So, if you can live with whatever your skill set can do about it (you'd be surprised what a brush can accomplish, or you can live with it the way it is), I'd be all over this. Take a good look at the backglass....

I'd offer 550 and try to end up at 650.00, top end $750.00. You wont lose money at that price, even if you cant fix it and want to sell it next month.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Other way around:

And the photo shows GI partially on, and nothing to show that the game has booted, which is consistent with the battery damage.

Ah, i stand corrected then, good catch - could be battery corrosion, could be that baked connector on the rectifier board - I think that orange wire takes the juice up to the driver board, and without that, nothing.

I'd offer $400 and maybe go $550.00.

Don't fret. There are tons of games out there.

Summer is usually a better time of year to get deals. Guys aren't concentrating as much on games when it's nice outside.
