Chapter 7: Troubleshooting
7.1 Troubleshooting Philosophy.
When troubleshooting any product, certain general guidelines should be followed
.
7.1.1
Always check to be sure that your game power is turned on. Ensure that all of the fuses in the
game are functional and that the AC voltage is in the proper operating range for your game.
7.1.2
Ensure that all of the game harnessing is plugged in properly and that all of the pins are firmly
seated in the connectors. It is always possible that a harness can be damaged by rough shipping or
moving.
7.1.3
Inspect game harnessing to be sure that none of the wires have become or are damaged. Utilize
a handheld multi-meter, and check continuity of the wires to make sure they are not broken.
7.1.4
Inspect for obvious damage to the P.C. Boards or electrical components.
7.1.5
If you have multiple similar games or multiple parts for a game, swap or exchange the parts to
see if the problem goes away or moves to another location. You can quickly eliminate certain parts
as being the problem within the game.
7.1.6
When changing electronic or electrical components, ALWAYS turn off all external power and
unplug the game.
7.1.7
Ensure that all power supplies are delivering the specified voltages to the P.C. Boards and
components as shown in the manual.
