Just tried it with another power supply just to see what happens, I notice that...

...if I adjust the power supply one way (I think down, forgot my meter today), I get a black screen. Only LED 11 on the CPU board lights up. The four LEDs on the graphics board light up and stay lit.

...if I adjust the power supply back up, I get garbage on the screen. LED 11 is the only LED to light up on the CPU board, but the four LEDs on the graphics board light up when the board is powered up and then turn off after a second or two.

Unfortunately the previous owner of the board epoxied a JAMMA conversion harness to the filterboard so it's hard for me to futz with anything short of taking the boards apart and trying to make sure they are put back together tightly. :( Any particular trouble spots I should look at, if the CPU board isn't getting enough juice? Which power connector on the filterboard powers the CPU board?

Thanks again for any help :)
