Question – Marvel Vs. Capcom Sound Problem & Circ

Question from Misael: I have a Coin-Op Marvel Vs. Capcom Arcade Game with sound problems. Every morning when I turn on the game there is no sound, I have to open the back panel and manually turn the volume up. For the rest of the day the sound works well, until the next day. (Every night I shut the game off, and when I turn the game back on is when there is no sound again). I have inspected the speaker and wires leading to the Capcom CP SYSTEM II Control Box and everything seem to be in working order. I am guessing that the problem lies within the Control Box; however I am new to this. Can you tell me if I’m on the right track, and if so guide me through this problem?

I also have a Coin-Op Cruisin the World Arcade Game with some color issues. It’s not bright and clear like it should be; it’s pink looking. I have done some research and found your video that shows how to check the colors in the monitor tube and all colors are good. Upon inspecting the neck board, to check transistors and resistors, I noticed some of the gold conductivity lines on the back are lifting where the leads of the transistors are soldered. Can you tell me how to fix this professionally, and if this could be my problem or just part of my problem along with some resistor or transistor? I am new to this and only know what I have seen, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Misael

Response from Jonathan: Misael,

On your Marvel Vs. Capcom sound problem, sometimes CPS2 boardsets just get wonky with their volume controls. Try pushing the volume down button on the A board and holding it down while you power it up. Keep holding it down until you see the splash screens come up. After that, adjust the volume to your liking and see if it saves it the next day. This method should reset the volume settings on the board.

On your Cruis’n World color problems, have you tried adjusting the colors? You might check out our post on Adjusting An Arcade Monitor for more information. If the colors have gotten this way over time then it might be time to Install A Cap Kit. Cap kits usually solve issues such as washed out colors. Check out the link for more information.

Thanks for your questions and good luck with your repairs.
