First work on Harlem Globetrotters

After the move of the pinball tables, when I discovered that I was missing a circuit board in my Harlem Globetrotters table. I decided to purchase a replacement. The nice folks at Alltek make a replacement board, so I ordered one. It arrived today!




But - before installing it.....I read the manual!   and it said to make sure that the 5v power was correct so that I did not burn out my brand new board.

So I plugged the table in, turned it on and connected up my trusty multi-meter:


I got nothing... no voltage, no lights, no hum, no nothing.

At first I thought I had a blown fuse, but after looking at them, the fuses are all ok.

However, while looking closer at the fuses, I noticed my power board does not look too good:


There are a couple of burned looking spots. One big on up near the top that looks like something might be missing and another one down by the connector.

I unplugged everything, looks like it is time to do some power board checking!
