Outrun Mini dies randomly

[MrRoppa]

Hi guys
During attract, randomly will die. Monitor black, no sound so not playing blind but keeps marquee and coin light. Power cycle will usually resolve. Switching power supply issue?

Check the 5v line to the game pcb, OutRun is hungry and will stop running or reset with less than 5v. 5.1v is usually about right.. at the board.

Meter the 5v and see if it is too low or drops after a short time.

Would you recommend just replacing the power supply? Does original Outrun need anything other than 5v?

+5v and Gnd. You might have a 12v connected for a replacement coin mech but only 5v needed to power the board.

I would test your existing switcher first, it should have an adjustment pot for the 5v if it's a proper arcade PSU.
