1.
Turn off the game and unplug it
from its power source.

Unlock and remove the coin box or coin
box/bill acceptor assembly.
3.

Remove the two thumbnuts securing
the touchscreen controller and discon-
nect the green ground wire with the
ring lug that is attached to the metal-
work next to the controller.
5.
Disconnect the touchscreen controller
cable from the back of the controller
and disconnect the Molex connector
connecting the orange and gray wires
(from the touchscreen controller cable)
to the harness. Then replace the
touchscreen controller on the mount-

the rest of the monitor chassis board
replacement process, but do not se-
cure it.

Disconnect the monitor signal cable on
the motherboard. See Figure 3 for con-
nector location.

move it from the cabinet. Be careful of
the wires on the neck board.

chassis board and metal tray to the

sition the board assembly so you can
make the necessary disconnections.

monitor signal cable from the neck
