Your coin op video game most likely has electronics that are deteriorating due to age and dust. It's actually a pretty common occurrence with older coin op machines. Components like capacitors degrade over time and eventually the electrolyte leaks out, contaminates the PCB, and the analog and power support circuits fail. The dust that builds up on the PCBs absorbs moisture from the air over time and can eventually bridge electrical contacts causing shorts that can lead to all kinds of problems.
Your best option IMO is to simply look for a local arcade and coin op machine repair service. The Internet should be a good place to start. If you are still having difficulty finding someone to repair it, simply ask around at any arcade or other location near you that has coin op machines and they should be able to point you to people who repair them.
Hello: first thing is check the 5V+ 12V+ -5V in the power
supply, sometimes when the power supply goes low or
high cause that problem, other thing that you need check
is the connector for the logic, sometimes contacts get
black, use a eraser to clean the contacts, the last thing
is reseat all chips in the logic, the ones that are in sockets
Thank You..

Are you talking about the little new thing you connect to a TV? That should be easy. Video plug to video input, and audio to audio :)
If you don't have video and audio inputs on your TV , you woll need to get a video modulator.
You'll need to open the cabinet and locate the game board to make this change (be sure to turn the machine off first, and it's a good idea to use some sort of anti static device on yourself before handling game boards). Inspect the game board and you should notice a bank of tiny switches (these are called dip switches). If your game is in Free Play mode, switches #1 and #2 are both "On". Here's how you can change it:
Switch 1 Switch 2 Mode ------------ ------------- ---------- Off On 1 Coin - 1 Play On Off 1 Coin - 2 Plays Off Off 2 Coins - 1 Play On On Free Play
Use the joystick controller's right and left to select options, and then use either one of the buttons to make your selection. The button with 1 human stick figure next to it is the Player 1 button, and the one with two stick figures is the Player 2 button. Unless the defaults were changed on that machine, 1 quarter is required for 1 player and 2 quarters are required for two players. I haven't used one of these machines since the original from 1982 to 1986. I can't believe it, but Namco actually has put a PDF of the service manual for this unit on their website: http://www.namcoamerica.com/games/pacman/downloads/ms%20pacman%20galaga%20cocktail.pdf
Have fun! I would love to have one of these on day.
gaming repair shops can fix that, cant remember what its called but inside the console, there are some kind of switches where you can disable/enable things like the characters and even the background, so i reckon one of the switches has been knocked
i cut the white cord with scissors trying to get a tight rubberband off.
