Response from Jonathan: Ken,

It sounds like you might be having either some power supply or board issues with your Gauntlet II arcade cabinet. Whenever you move arcade games, it’s common for certain adjustments to get out of whack during the process. It could be that your power supply adjustment moved just a bit while you were relocating the game. In this case, it’s a good idea to check your power supply to see if the voltage is correct and adjust it accordingly. Please see our posts on Checking And Replacing A Power Supply and Checking A Classic Power Supply for more information on this process. It’s also possible that some wiring may have come loose during the move as well. Make sure you check your cabinet for any loose, frayed or broken wires as these can also cause problems such as this.

Now, if you continue to have the board resetting problems after adjusting your power supply and checking the wiring then you could have an issue with your board. At this point, you might check out our post on Inspecting An Arcade Board. This post gives you some general tips that might help you get your board back up and running. If the board still isn’t working right after trying these tips then you may need to replace your board or get it repaired. We do have some people we recommend for board repair if you would rather get it fixed. Eldorado Games at eldoradogames.com has a very good reputation and they usually get your board back to you in a reasonable amount of time. You might also try our friend Raymond at arcadecomponents.com. Raymond is very knowledgeable but he can get pretty busy so make sure you check with him before sending your board to him. There is also a list of additional board repair guys under the Board (PCB) Repair & Component Sales heading on our resources page that might be able to help you out as well.

Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
