can someone tell me???

[ale76]

i just recently bought an arcade machine now the machine had no jamma pcb game within it what will happen if i turn the machine on with no game inside????? i wish to turn it on to see if its working as its untested ..... so if i turn on the machine from the power supply will i cause any damage at all without a game inside?? as i dont wish to burn anything out

"newbie" please help in answering this question

Assuming its a Jamma cab, that will be ok but don't be nearby when you do, untested usually means knackered. Put it on a switched extension lead so if anything happens you can switch it off quickly

also how do i replace or put on a new jamma harness ,any information would be grateful and helpful?? understanding the process and what colours go where and do what ??

 

[ale76]

thanks andy so you mean turn it on and stand well back lol when i turn it on what actually should happen and yes it is a jamma cabinet

 

[andyman]

Marquee lights up (if it has a light), coin slots light up (again if they have bulbs), monitor crackles and has static on the tube front, maybe an orange glow from the back but not always and you have light(s) on the psu. Click here for Jamma connections

That's ok we were all new once, just use you common when posting, look at the sub forums names and see which one best matches you topic or question, some people may only be interested in certain parts of the forum, and if you post in the wrong place, you might not get all the help you need.
