I need help with a major game king issue.  My machine was working, and now when I power it on I get a multi colored pixelized snowy type screen and all the yellow lights on the board stay on.  I have the old style sound board without the SIMM socket.  I have tried swapping backplane boards, no difference.  I put my main board in a known good machine to test chips and board and the board and chips all work fine as well as the EEPROM from the backplane.  What could be causing this issue?

Will a known working MPU from another working Game King also work in the problematic Game King with the snowy screen?  Can you swap monitors?

If your MPU board is OK, I would swap out the power supply with a known good one.

Thank you Tilt.  The power supply was the culprit.  I was ready to start pulling my hair out.  Luckily I had another machine that had the same power supply to be able to swap to try it.  I help out at a used slot shop so I could try the board there, but didn't bring the power supply with today, and the shop is closed tomorrow so I was up a creek when the board wasn't the issue.
