The line fuse has blown and the red disc next to the line filter is cracked or burnt.
Fried varistor at the line filter
Cause: The varistor across the line filter shorted to absorb a voltage spike; it protects only once.
Checks
- Inspect the red disc varistor at the front left of the cabinet near the auxiliary outlet.
Fix
- Replace the varistor. The game runs without it but has no surge protection.
Line voltage is present in the cabinet; unplug the game before working on it.
