Jaguar Fault! Have you seen this before?

Yeah you could be shorting across those tracks.. How you looked at the schematics?

[JoeMusashi]

Yeah I've got the schematic.
I'm going to try changing the voltage regulator IC, that seems to be a common thing.
As far as I can tell it should output Vcc of 40V but I'm only measuring around 9.3v which is consistent with input voltage. This would be enough to illuminate LED I reckon. Can't tell if its dim or not as I've no comparison lol.

Still waiting for components to arrive...

Has it been longer than expected?

[JoeMusashi]

Nah, not really. I ordered some regulator chips from a Chinese seller so could be another few weeks yet.
I actually ordered 5 as it was more cost effective, so if anybody needs one I have a few spare.

Oh, yes, if coming from China it can take a few weeks. 

[JoeMusashi]

I hope it's worth the wait and it all works in the end lol.
I need some Tempest 2000 action!

Good luck, that is a frustrating fault to analise and fix.

[JoeMusashi]

No luck :^[

Stuck the new regulator chip in and the console now turns on and of like you would expect but unfortunately there is no video output, or nothing to tune into at least.

The investigation continues....

Aw man, I was hoping for the best. Good luck with the further investigation.

[TrekMD]

That  sucks.  I hope you're able to figure out the issue to fix it. 

[zapiy]

Well done for getting this far pal.. I am sure you have the determination to figure it out.
