Need Help to Identify Cocktail Arcarde Machine

[ronkarl]

Can anyone identify this machine. It boots then shuts down. Any info much appreciated.

Power supply is highly suspect. That is a PC based system, do you have a PS tester? The other option is the possibility that one of the capacitors on the motherboard is way out of spec. What year is the manufacturer date?
Does it pass memory test? You can usually attach a keyboard to those and get into bios.

Looks like it's got a splurged cap next to the CPU/VRMs and two others bulging (I'm guessing from the brown sleeves and Y-shaped vents that they're Nippon Chemi-Con KZG which were always finicky even when new, NCC discontinued them ages ago as it was very off-brand for them to produce a bad range of caps; note how the Rubycons on the board are still going strong).

KZGs (and related KZJs) don't like being even remotely warm despite their 105°C rating, so of course they were used on almost every motherboard until the manufacturers came across a company called CapXon which could do the exact same thing but cheaper.

Is it an actual PC-based arcade machine or a MAME cabinet? If it's the latter you're better off just swapping the guts for a cheap PC from this side of 2010.
