Anyone know anything about old Arcade Machines?

[fallenintoshadows]

We have one, it's The Crystal Maze. It's been stored in our garage for awhile (worked fine beforehand) and finally brought it into the house yesterday, it needs a good clean but it worked fine. For some reason today it's not working, if we switch it on only the fan comes on, not even the lights or screen. I know it's a long shot but there might be someone lurking in the forums that could help me out. orz

First off unplug it from power, then open it up and make sure all the connections are solid, unplug and plug back if you have to. Some times when a system is moved, things come loose.

We did try that, none of us have much knowledge about machines so apart from finding a few spiders we think it's all plugged in fine. We could send it away to a professional/expert to look at but the closest one is many many hours away :[

You would do better finding a forum for old consoles and arcade machines. There are communities pretty much dedicated to them so a google search should find them.
