HI Folks,
About 18 months ago I got a WMMT3 cabinet from @rewrite and after a few months of work got it all up and working perfectly, card reader and all. It's been in solid use for that time. recently - it's been acting odd (I come in and it's off, so I have to reboot it, etc.) until earlier this week when I just couldn't get it to even load.
So - I replaced the power supply that feeds the Chihiro, and the power supply that feeds the boards (Suzo Happ) - that PS was noisy, so I knew the fan was going anyways, and had already gotten the replacement PSU.
I fired everything up - and now I get a Wheel Error - when it tries to do the first check (turning the wheel a bit to the right and a bit to the left), nothing happens. If I turn off Steering power in the menu - everything is good on the game, so I know the pots, etc. are all working. I also dropped in my replacement STR720 board for the wheel - and same behaviour.
I did hear (at one point) a strange sound coming from the big transformer in the bottom of the case. It seems like this transformer feeds most of the units, if not all - is it an isolation transformer? I don't see it output anything other than 100v on the output side (per the wiring diagram).
Is it possible the transformer is going - and thus causing my issues?
