MPU TP2 has no +12 V and the LED is dark.

No +12 V at the MPU: check the rectifier board

Cause: Blown 12 V fuse F3 or burnt fuse clips on the rectifier board, then the bridge or transformer feed.

Checks

  • Measure rectifier board TP3 for about +12 V DC.
  • Pull fuse F3 (4 A) and test it for continuity; look at its clips for heat damage, which is common.

Fix

  • Replace F3 and any discoloured or loose fuse clips.

The rectifier board carries mains and high voltage; switch off and unplug the game before touching it.
