Title: Power Management
Post by: SQUIIDUX on March 19, 2013, 08:13:02 pm

Do you leave your machine on or turn it on before each use?

I turn mine off after each session mainly to prevent monitor burn-in.

Same as Jeff ^. DK isn't one of those machines (like vector machines and q*bert) which seems easily prone to breaking from too much turning on/off (at least this is what I hear from arcade owners). If you do decide to leave it on, make sure the voltages are right and also make sure that all credits are used up (to keep the screen changing so as to minimize screen burn).
