Hey guys I'm new here and I,m looking for someone near Montreal who's able to repair arcade machine, I got an Arkanoid machine and need assistance to repair it.

Thank you.

hey othentic

Can you give a few more details regarding the actual problem, as someone might be able to give you a simple fix right here on this board.

Is nothing coming on at all when you turn on the game, or is a single component not functioning?

In fact, I was writing hoping someone could pass by and tell ME what the problem is or are... it worked fine for a couple of weeks then there was a power outage, I think it spiked and the power supplly fried... then I bought another one with nearly the same specs. didn't work, well I can see the bue screen but the pcb doesn't seem to work,  then again, my electronics from 11th grade are farrrrrrr away so I'm not really the one who should take a look at it.

So I was hoping if someone near montreal wanted to take a look at it and give me hints on what's working and what's not, that'd be nice. Of course I'm willing to pay whatever it worths.

Thanks!

I'm no expert, but the easiest thing to check are the fuses.
(...especially if you say it broke after a power failure ).

(..and check the fuses with an ohm-meter. don't rely
on merely a visual inspection.  Take them out and test each one )

If your fuses are good, then test your voltages on the PCB.
Make sure you get a solid +5V
(...your new power supply might not be properly adjusted...)


Other than that,  send it to MindStorm (Bruno).    

Good Luck,
Steph
