Where are you located, and where did the machine come from?
How do you know you wired up the power plug correctly if you didn't
check first to see if the game was wired for 120 or 220 VAC operation?
The game may also have problems from before you bought it.
I would recommend first check the power cord to make sure it is wired as
the factory says for 120VAC.
Next check the jumpers are set up for 120VAC (or 220 if in a country
that needs that).
Then check the fuses - line fuse first as the value for that depends on
the line voltage.
Lastly check if there is a line voltage MOV in the game. That may be shorted...
Lastly, what the heck is the game make and model? That is really useful
info!
