I asked Bagheera369 for assistance but I figured I should make a thread for this just for further assistance. So here's the story:
I finally got my TC3 machine into my shop the other day and its got problems.
The left player doesn't work at all. The mobo for it looks very different from the regular 246 on the player 2 side. It gets power all the way up to the cd drive and then the drive gets no power. The power supply is also kicking out CRAZY power, so the jumped fan is getting like 28v and spins like a plane propeller. I assumed that the power supply was fucked up, but i'm not so sure. It looks like there is something on the mobo that is supposed to regulate the voltage and it isn't working. It says VHF PCB on it, but I can't find anything even close to it anywhere online (i'll send pictures later when I get back in to the shop tomorrow). I had a tech come out and he traced everything and its getting power everywhere but the monitor doesnt come on (I assume it wont if the disc and stuff isnt loading) and the cd rom drive doesn't light up. Everything else is on and the player 2 side works with no issues. In order to get the disc out of the drive to see if it was working, I took it to a PC repair place right next door to my shop and they plugged it in and it fired right up and ejected the disc.
Any suggestions? I really need to get this thing working and the techs suggestion was to replace both monitors with 27 inch LCDs, replace the player 1 mobo and the player 1 power supply. I really don't wanna spend money on this fucking thing.
