Game King Lost power to MPU
« on: December 22, 2024, 10:16:14 am »
So, I have a 044 Ultimate Poker. Was working perfect. I moved it from one stand to another, but now it won't boot up. No lights on mpu. Tried a different mpu with same result. Power supply looks tight. When I power up, the top and belly light come on, the printer makes a slight sound, and that's it. ( and the fans come on).

Did my power supply just crap out that fast?

No... I'm going to guess your PSU took about 20 years to "crap out.
It dies out just like a lightbulb - at any time you turn the switch ON.
Basically, the capacitors inside the PSU are dried out, swollen, or just plain shot.

The easiest thing you can do right now is to pull out the PSU, check and see if the pins burned out.
If so, then swap out a PSU and see if that cures it.
It's a start anyways... towards narrowing out the problem.

Fuse! 15 amp fuse on backplane. I always forget to check the simple things! Found a blown fuse, replaced, and all is good.

I know. There's a ton of wires behind the top from when it was casino used, but some still have power. I've started the process of tracking them and removing what's not needed
