I'm new to the site, but have been a long time game collector and recently got into restoring arcade cabinets. I picked up a Lethal Enforcers cabinet that I'm not really sure what's wrong with it.
At first, when I turned it on it said "Verify Bad. Please power on the machine while holding the test button". I found the test button behind the coin door, and got it to boot into the game. The I tried putting a quarter in, and the machine restarted. So then I tried it with the player 2 coin op, and same thing...the machine rebooted.
I thought it might be the coin ops, so I found out how to get into the screen where I can change it to free play (by pressing the test button once the game loaded). In there, you can change all the settings and everything, so I went through all the diagnostics, and the coin ops, light guns and the buttons all test out, and don't restart the machine while in the test screens. So I exit to the main screen, press the Player 1 button to start the game and it tries to start (says part of the word "Player One" and reboots the machine again.
I'm sure you can imagine my confusion. Since the guns, and all the buttons and coin ops work in the diagnostics screen, why would it reboot the machine when I insert a credit? Something else worth mentioning is that once it does this once, it gets stuck in a boot loop where it'll get to the very first opening screen and then reboot again. It'll eventually get past that if I hold the test button while powering it on a few time and then it'll show the game demo for any amount of time.
Any thoughts that might help me out and restore this cabinet? Thanks!!
