Hey Tony, welcome, do you know what's wrong with it?

Hi Edd

It seems to power up but the screen doesn't come on

eddhorse

Could be a number of things wrong, do other lights come on but not the Monitor?

glentony

Yes the lights come on on the power unit and a small circuit board behind the screen there used to be a buzzing sound when first powered up and the screen would light up but since the screen stopped working the buzzing has stopped

You would need to check the voltages of the power supply in the picture and voltage going to the monitor first.

Then quite possibly have to remove the monitor chassis (mainboard) to send to be serviced.

I checked the voltages all seem good

I must see can I find some one to check the main board

Is the game playing blind?

as in can you hear it when you coin it up?

not sure if there’s sound in it but I remember some of them had card noises and the buttons light up to hold.

check for neck glow on the monitor when it’s powered on, it’s difficult to tell if a CRT is on sometimes if it’s not getting a signal from the game board.

It accepts the coins and some of the lights are on but doesn't seem to do anything else there's a neck glow on the monitor to I think
