Bluestorm x9 arcade machine

Question from Josh: Hi guys, love the show and has renewed my love for arcade gaming. I have a Bluestorm x9 arcade machine that I purchased from here: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/blue-storm-video-amusement-mini-arcade_544952333.html. I moved house and the machine was working before but when I plugged it in at the new place it loads up but only has a blank ( grey ) screen. Is there something I can check inside to see if there is a problem or is it something that need to be looked at by a professional? Cheers, Josh

Sure, we always encourage people to work on their own games as long as they feel comfortable with it. As for your issue, it’s pretty common for items inside a cabinet to shift during the moving process. We recommend opening up the back of the game and making sure all of the wiring is connected properly. Make sure you check the connection to the board and look especially for connectors that may have become separated during transport. We would also recommend checking the power supply to make sure that the voltage that is getting to your board is correct. See our post on Checking And Replacing A Power Supply for more information.

Thank you for your question. Good luck with your repair and please contact us again if you have more questions about your issue.
