After the start-up test the display asks you to check fuses F114 and F115, and switch test shows switch 24 (the always-closed switch) open. The fuses test good.
'Check F114 and F115' with switch 24 open: missing 12 V, bad bridge BR5
Cause: The unregulated 12 V supply is missing. Here one diode in bridge rectifier BR5 on the power driver board had gone open.
Checks
- Measure the unregulated 12 V at test point TP1 on the driver board.
- If it is missing with good fuses, check that AC is reaching the board (it was present at J112), then test bridge BR5 and its filter capacitor.
Fix
- Replace the failed bridge rectifier (BR5 here). The 12 V returned and the game played normally.
AC from the transformer is live on the driver board connectors while you measure; keep probes steady and power off before removing the board.
