This is another blog entry to detail what I did to fix a PVM-20M4. One night after playing some games I was in the process of turning everything off when something inside the monitor exploded and left the monitor lifeless. Since the monitor wouldn’t power on, the power board seemed like a logical place to look first and here is what I found:
Here is a board from my mate Ben from my local: 1989 Bar and Arcade. Check them out if you’re even in Sydney!
As you can see, this old girl has seen some use! Ben has asked if we can take a look at it, repair as required and install an InfiniKey
This is the first of a series of repair blogs I plan to post up on here. Occasionally I do some odd things in the name of keeping my retro gaming hobby going and this job is one of the more daunting ones I have undertaken.
