Troubleshooting Philosophy
When troubleshooting any product, certain general guidelines should be
followed
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.
2)
Ensure that all of the game harnesses are 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.
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.
4)
Inspect for obvious damage to the P.C. Boards or electrical
components.
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.
6)
When changing electronic or electrical components, ALWAYS turn
off all external power and unplug the game.
7)
Ensure that all power supplies are delivering the specified voltages
to the P.C. Boards and components as shown in the manual.
Warning!
Do not use graphite spray. It is conductive and can short out the
electrical wiring and or the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
