Donkey Kong Cocktail and White screen

[Guest]

Hello,

I just turned on my donkey kong cocktail machine and all I get is a
white screen. I had originally replaced my PCB board and it worked
fine. I was able to play with no hitch. The only noticeable symptoms
that I got were:

a) I was able to open up once but with no sound.
b) When it was working, I had a moment where the sound started to
get loud and crackle a bit.

Can I assume that there I need to fix something associated with my
voltage or sound?

Do I need to replace my monitor? If so, where can I get one?

Let me know for I worked so hard to restore this DK table! My first
video game machine even... Thanks.

- Fred

Check the voltages on the power supply - it may have tanked.

If it did, Todd from TNT Amusements sells them for a good price.
