Arcade machines are beloved for their nostalgic charm, but power supply issues can disrupt gameplay and damage components. Here are the most common problems and how to fix them:

1. Blown Fuses – A frequent issue caused by power surges or short circuits. Replace the fuse with one of the same rating and check for underlying wiring problems.

2. Voltage Fluctuations – Unstable voltage can harm sensitive components. Use a multimeter to test the power supply output and replace faulty regulators or capacitors.

3. Overheating – Dust buildup or failing cooling fans can cause overheating. Clean internal components and ensure proper ventilation.

4. Dead Power Supply – If the machine won’t turn on, test the power supply with a multimeter. Replace it if no voltage is detected.

5. Loose or Corroded Connectors – Poor connections can cause intermittent power loss. Inspect and clean all connectors, reseating them securely.

Regular maintenance and prompt troubleshooting can extend the life of your arcade machine and ensure uninterrupted fun!
