MPU4 power supply problem

[Mark]

Hi guys, I know some of you on here have fruit machines as well as pins. I have a problem where my fruit machine sometimes resets, and I've been told it might be a power supply issue where the capacitors need replacing, similar to the problem I have on my Rocky & Bullwinkle.

My question is, does anyone on here know anything about fruit machine power supplies? I've attached a picture of the PSU in question and was wondering if anyone knew what I could check to identify the problem, such as what voltages I should expect on the pin outs etc?

Failing that, what components I could try replacing, or if there is anyone I could send this to for repair, or even get a replacement?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Open it up and visually inspect the capacitors.

I'd try reseating that red cable loom first...

Hi Moonraker, I've tried re-seating it without success, but I agree, always go for the easiest thing first

Thanks Carl, I'll have a look inside later and see what I find!

Cheers, Mark

Thanks guys, very useful! Funnily enough since I've decided to set about fixing this, the problem seems to have gone away! Will give it a week or so and see what happens.
Cheers, Mark
