The game still resets, yet the bridge or rectifier diodes pass the meter tests.
Resets continue although the bridge and diodes test good
Cause: Bridges and diodes can become leaky and only fail under load; aging filter capacitors; finally the LM339 comparator in the zero-cross circuit.
Checks
- Confirm the wall voltage is correct.
Fix
- Reflow the solder on the bridge or diodes and their filter capacitor.
- Replace the suspect 5 V rectifier anyway: BR2, or D7-D10 on WPC-95.
- On a game ten or more years old replace C5 and C4 (C9 and C1 on WPC-95) as well.
- As a last resort replace the LM339 at U6 (U1 on WPC-95), in a socket.
