Ok so I am trying to get a multimeter because I know that will probably help me but can someone tell me if these things are fried or what? I have attached the pics below of my galaga bootleg that I am trying to fix. Thanks

Those are capacitors. THe big guy is probably fine and not worth looking at. The smaller one is damaged and should be replaced. probably a 103 or 102 ceramic disk. Fixing bootlegs is not all that much fun.

So both of the big guys look ok?

Also is this what I need?

yeah thats the one you need. price seems a little nuts but that would get it to you quickly. I doubt this will fix anything for you though.

So even if I replaced everything it wouldn't make a difference? But that capacitor for a fact is bad?

If you can get your hands on the components cheap, when in doubt, replace one by one and test the board again.

Wondering if somebody plugged edge connector in backwards at one point in time.
