I can’t believe these posts. I have no idea why you guys can’t fix this stuff. It has to be the easiest electronic architecture ever made. The boards are nice and big, the components are spaced so you can work on them. 9/10 problems can be solved with a DMM and logic probe.

I am trying to fix my PPI video game and have a really basic question. If the lights on the PCB do not light up, would that indicate that my board is not getting enough power? The monitor glowes in a bright pink and the fax, lights all work. But I don’t get any sound or picture on the screen. Any clues where to start in fixing this is appreciated.

Glad it helped you! Congrats on getting it running again. Make sure you check the edge connector on the PCB to make sure it’s not damaged. Also, you may want to run some power leads to the board test points just to bullet-proof it.

You completely rule, man! Between the sense jumpers and the burned resistors, this page helped me get my PP back and running!

Thank!

You can swap a PP2 board into a PP1 cabinet. Should work great. For replacement parts, I’d start with Bob Roberts. His address is on my links page. you may need to email him to ask about what you need.
