Picked up a WWF Royal Rumble at Allentown. Made deal prior to show. Day of show seller (Nice Guy) stated that it started blowing F3 Fuse (GI & Coin Door) on PPB board. Knocked a some cash off price so I was good. Just a GI Problem

Figured it would be easy fix. Replaced fuse and sure enough F3 Blew. I took all bulbs out of the F3 Fuse (Purple with Black stripe and Solid Black) line and powered game on, fuse does not blow.
Checked voltage at sockets and I am not getting power to sockets (very odd). All test point are good coming off power board and pins. My next step is to reflow solder on pins on PPB board. As I was looking at the other boards the MPU caught my eye. I noticed that the new MPU board (Rottendog) looks a little off with the way the connectors are placed on the board. Its been awhile since Ive owned a WWf. Please see my pictures and tell me if something is off. Any help is much appreciated. any pics of someones board would help.

Thank you

heres what i would do put everything back the way it was without the bulbs,then power up the game and put in the bulbs back in one at a time,the bulb/socket that blows the fuse would be suspect.piece of metal touching socket ect.

That was my plan. I used a good bulb to test each socket individually. The good bulb doesn't come on in any socket. That's when I checked voltage. Maybe I'll socket them all up and see what happens tonight.

Also did you see the upper right of my mpu board. Any thoughts?

i just took a look and the connector is longer than the header pins,are you sure thats the correct board installed?

No doubt that's in the wrong place. Hoping to see a pic of someones set up.

ok but im looking around the board and dont see where that connector would go,if you have the manual look at the schematics and see where it would go

My middle picture has a free floating connector with the purple wire with black strip. Can anyone confirm, should be free floating or should be connected somewhere?

Thank you

Cycloneman thanks for help!

Believe it or not the mpu is correct, even with the connector hanging off the right side. The main power board is the one that is wrong.

Amazing what happens when you put the right power board in!
Maybe the seller thought it was the right one. Lol
