This is for a Firepower II. I don't really know what to look for, but it looks to me like it got extremely hot at some point. The back looks like it crinkled up aluminum foil in some spots and there are some definite charred spots. Sorry the pics aren't the best. I found a board on rottendog, but it doesn't look exactly like this one. Is this one repairable possibly? If not, where should I look for a replacement if the rottendog one won't work?

THANKS!!!

ok, so apparently you can't delete pics you accidentally post so kudos to the first person to guess where I went on vacation this past summer

I don't even really know where to start on this thing. I got it for $50. The lights come on on the playfield, but I really don't get much past that. I was taking each board off and checking them out one at a time and I must say I got a bit discouraged when I got to this one. I haven't got to the power supply yet. That Barracora must be pretty bad

Thanks for the advice I'll move on to the next board then

Thanks for all the advice. I have a Fluke now, so as soon as I get a chance, I'm gonna start checking out the boards again. Also, to Chris, the LED was showing 9 at first. I don't know what I did to change it, but it's not showing anything now. I think that it might have had something to do with the coin door or one of the RAM chips.
