Title: Power supply question
Post by: RetroArcade on September 16, 2013, 12:22:00 pm
I'm working on a street fighter cabinet and power keeps fluctuating so i thinking its bad power supply, so i went to change it out and started with moving them over one at a time, +5vDC then i moved onto +5v RTN but the new one power supply did not have a RTN, where can i place this?

+5v RTN, is the +5v Return, just put that on the joined ground connection (GND), and it will be fine...!!

Do you think it will be alright to use a 15 amp power supply instead of the 20amp. The +5VDC 20amp was on the old power supply and the new i got was says +5VDC 15amp.

the amps are basically what drives the power throughout the games board and wiring. 15amp on +5V should be more than enough.
