Hey all, I have a WWF Wrestlefest arcade machine (circa 1991) and went to turn it off and on to "reboot" it, and during that reboot, it wouldn't turn back on. I have no idea where to start looking for how to repair it, if it's a blown fuse, whatever, I have no clue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, a starting point, a "quick arcade repair for dummies," thanks everyone!

call a specialist electric technicians..
i think the tube or fuse is broken..
its 1991 so the tube is way out of warranty..

I suggest you find some information about troubleshooting electronic assemblies and then decide if you have the proper amount of testicles to try and fix the thing. Does the power supply turn on? Does the neck of the monitor glow at all? Do you get any indicator of power? etc etc. Without seeing it I would guess a fuse blew or there's something up with the power supply..

If you turn it on and there is no sound or video then it's most likely the power supply. You either blew a fuse of the PSU died.

If there is sound but no picture then that's obviously something else.

Does the monitor come on? Do you see a glow in the neck?

Does the marquee light come on?

Will the game play blind?

Before any targeted troubleshooting help can be given, we need a bit more information. Otherwise, we are shooting in the dark.
