The game will not boot and LED101 is out.
WPC-95 LED101 off (+5 V, game will not boot)
Cause: Fuse F105, diodes D7-D10 or capacitor C9; rarely regulator Q1. Path: J129 pins 1-2, F105, D7-D10, C9, Q1, then J101 pins 3-4 and pin 4 of J138 to J141.
Checks
- Check F105.
- Measure TP101.
Fix
- Replace the failed fuse, diodes or capacitor.
