I'd buy the switcher from www.arcadeshop.com with the PCB that allows you to just mount and plug in the existing connectors (no splicing, no rewiring)...you bypass the old, poorly designed power PCBs alltogether. $39 is well worth it. I bought one from them to replace a blown Galaga PS PCB, works great.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean McLachlan" <sean@lithoflexo.com> To: <utvgg@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 2:03 PM Subject: [UtVgG] Joust +5 went out
The +5 on my Joust power board went out, the heatsink mounted transistor is fried and from the looks of the burnt connector some serious current went through it. I'm going to have to replace the molex or jump the wire someway, I've got huge resistance on it when it's connected now.
The header pins have cold solder joints aplenty, I'm hoping it was just a bad connection that caused the current to jump.
Have I fried anything on the boardset when my +5 went nuts? I'm hoping no, and I guess I'll really know when the PS is back up, but I'm wondering what to expect.
