VIDEO TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Cause Required Action
Monitor appears non-
functional
Audio is present
Video Game Machine 
(VGM) controls oper-
ate normallyPower problem
Verify connection of AC Power to video monitor. Inspect 
neck of CRT in dim light. Glowing filament near CRT base 
confirms monitor circuits receive power. However, voltages 
or signals may not be normal
. 
Faulty wiring 1. Turn off game power. Verify that video signal and 
Remote Adjustment Board connectors seat prop-
erly on Video Monitor Board. 
2. Assure that no wires are caught on chassis or
mounting brackets.
Improper monitor 
adjustmentsCheck BRIGHTNESS (intensity) and CONTRAST are 
set above their minimum levels.
Faulty monitor cir-
cuitry1. Examine AC line fuse on Video Monitor Board. If 
fuse is faulty, replace it with an identically rated 
fuse.
2. If the fuse is good, verify video monitor operates
correctly by placing it in a working VGM.
3. If monitor is bad; Check monitor power supply.
4. If the power supply is good, Check monitor hori-
zontal output transistor and related circuitry.
Graphic images from 
game do not appear
No audio
Power-up self-test 
runsImproper compo-
nents1. Verify circuit boards are correct for this game. 
Labels on each board record manufacturers’ 
name, assembly number and hardware version.
2. Verify ROM instruction set is correct for this game.
Game set includes more than one ROM. Label on
each ROM records assembly number and soft-
ware version.
Faulty Circuit 
Board1. Allow game to load normally. Note and record any 
error messages that occur during self-test. 
2. Press and hold TEST MODE switch inside coin
door to enter Menu System. Select Diagnostic
Menu from the Main Menu. Then select CPU
BOARD TEST. Conduct this test to check opera-
tion of critical components. 
3. Turn off power.  Inspect CPU Board to ensure
JAMMA cable connector is fully seated onto the
mating edge connector of the CPU. Check all
other cable connectors for correct alignment and
continuity. 
4. Compare activity of LED’s on CPU with the CPU
Indicator Chart.

Power Problems 1. Turn on Power. Use 20-volt DC setting on digital 
voltmeter to measure DC voltages present at 
Power connector pins. Verify +5V source if it is 
adjustable. Refer to Cabinet Wiring Diagram for 
specific wiring information and voltage limits.
2. Use 2-Volt AC setting on digital voltmeter to mea-
sure DC voltages at Power Connector pins. Any
reading indicates the supply voltages are unstable
and may contain ripple or noise.

TYPICAL CUTAWAY REAR VIEW
CAUTION 
Do not remove or install any connector when power is turned on. Installation under power will 
damage the circuit boards or ROM’s and void the warranty.
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE. 
Video Game Machine (VGM) monitors 
generate and store potentially lethal high voltages. 
Avoid touching any part of the monitor until power has been off for some time. A picture tube 
can maintain a hazardous charge for up to several days. Only qualified technicians should 
service monitors. Turn off the power, unplug the VGM and discharge the CRT before 
attempting service. Even properly discharged tubes can revert to a highly charged state, 
without reapplication of power.
WARNING  
In normal operation, the monitor doesn’t require isolation from AC line voltage. During bench 
servicing, you may need to operate the monitor outside the cabinet. If you do, isolate the 
monitor from line voltage with an isolation transformer.
CAUTION 
Do not operate the monitor without its Remote Adjustment Board.
WARNING: HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE. 
If you drop a fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly 
eight feet or more from the implosion.

AUDIO TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Cause Required Action
No audio
Video is present
Video Game Machine 
(VGM) appears to 
operate normallyImproper volume 
settingPress and hold TEST MODE switch inside coin door to 
enter Menu System. Select VOLUME MENU from the 
Main Menu. Make sure the Attract Music is on 
(enabled). Verify all volume levels are set well above 
zero. If necessary, change levels to make game audi-
ble.
Faulty wiring Turn off power. Assure wiring harness connectors 
attach and fully seat onto mating board connectors. 
Verify harness connects to CPU Board. Check audio 
cable connectors in same way.
Faulty or 
obstructed 
speakerRemove grilles and inspect speakers. Free speaker 
cones, terminals, mounting screws and magnets of 
loose parts or wires.
Faulty Audio 
BoardVerify proper operation of Audio Board by placing it in 
a working VGM.
Power Problems Use 20-volt DC setting on digital voltmeter to measure 
DC voltages present at Power connector pins. Verify 
+5V, -5V and +12V sources. Refer to Cabinet Wiring 
Diagram for specific wiring information and voltage 
limits.
Audio is distorted, 
muffled or has missing 
frequencies.Faulty or improper 
speaker1. Turn off power. Remove grilles and check speak-
ers. Verify that speakers are full range (100 to 
10,000 Hz response) and rated for at least 20 
watts. Woofers must be rated for at least 40 watts.
2. Verify proper speaker operation by placing
speaker in question in a working VGM.
Faulty wiring Multiple-speaker installations: Check for reversed 
wires at one speaker. Weak or low frequencies and 
thin or hollow sound quality are symptom of incorrectly 
phased speakers. Sound tests may not detect this 
condition, but you can hear it during operation.
Improper Setting
Press and hold TEST MODE switch inside coin door to enter 
Menu System. Select SOUND TEST from Diagnostics 
Menu. Increase volume as required. This test will verify 
some audio circuit functions.
 
Dead sound channel Faulty speaker 1. From Diagnostics Menu, choose SOUND TEST. 
Recheck speakers with audio signals provided by 
test.
2. Verify proper speaker operation by connecting
speaker in question to working Video Game
Machine (VGM).
