Power On Problem

Question from Dave: Hi, I have a very tough to describe into a search engine problem with now two of my arcade machines.

#1 Lady Bug, since I bought it I have had to power on it and then off and then repower it to get it to boot.

The first time I press the power button it beeps loudly. After that, a quick reset of the power and up she runs just fine.

#2 Smash TV, I have recently had the same problem but intermittently.

I am mostly interested in any feedback you may have on Lady Bug, because I think Smash TV is just a matter of cleaning boards due to moisture build up.

Thanks,
Dave

Response from Tim: Sounds like the power supply even though it maybe producing the right volts could be loosing amps…I would start there by rebuilding or replacing it. Make sure you have a good ground where the game plugs into the wall also. If not grounded properly you can get that noise. Tim
