No +5 V at all, or FU3 blows.

Bad +5 V bridge diodes D1-D4

Cause: One of the bridge diodes D1-D4 (MR751, 100 V 6 A) open (no +5 V) or shorted (blows FU3).

Checks

  • On diode setting each should read 0.4 to 0.6 V one way and nothing the other. No reading either way is open; under 0.4 V is shorted.

Fix

  • Replace the bad diode with any 6A1-type part and refit FU3 (6 A slow-blow).

Unplug the game before pulling fuses or working on the power supply; the transformer side carries line voltage.
