Gauntlet error..
« on: September 03, 2009, 12:10:44 PM »
I hooked it up to my Gauntlet, and this is what i get..
after 5 sec. the picture is faded away..??? - error on the PCB?
note! - none of the controls are hooked up, so for the coin mechs...


NOTE - i have 2 Gauntlet PCBs, and they produce the same error (Picture)

Could be all kinds of things, from a dodgy custom chip (Gauntlet has a few) to dodgy program ROMs.

I guess that the voltages to the board are okay?

Curious that you have two faulty boards - didn't you say that you bought them both as workers?

Okay, but what voltages are you getting at the game board itself?

+5VDC - and from the AUX pcb, -15VDC and +15VDC... (but i will check those tomorrow, and see if the voltage is right.)

Okay, do double check what you're getting at the game board.

I guess that would work but I'm no expert on power supplies, I stick to the game boards. )

just tried a spot transformer, and it seems like it´s "working"...
the game tries to boot up, and theres a bump in the speaker, thes repeat every 1½....
maby there´´s not enough punch in the transformer....

And that's the same on both boards?

How do you have this transformer wired up alongside the existing one?
