GAME REPAIR
WARNING: ALWAYS REMOVE POWER TO THE
GAME BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE,
UNLESS NEEDED FOR SPECIFIC TESTING.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO
YOURSELF OR OTHERS.
OPERATIONAL
BACKGROUND
The
ICE BALL
" game has been designed with MODULAR
repair in mind. The coin drawer and ticket drawer can be
slid out and removed in their entirety to be worked on in
another area if desired. The ball release assembly can be
removed as a unit with no tools necessary, making repair a
snap.
The ball release system utilizes an A.C. Pull tpe solenoid
that has been specifically designed to eliminate residual
magnetism problems commonly found in this type of
solenoid. The solenoid is powered via an Opto–isolator, to
eliminate solenoid noise from the electronic circuitry.
Other than the display, all electronics and power supply
components are located on the Main P.C. Board to make
modular type replacement fast and simple.
The display board has been designed to be very reliable
and easy to repair. Very few drive components are
necessary for this type of display.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PHILOSOPHY
To find problems with the game, always first check what
should be obvious. See that the game is plugged in and
that all of the fuses on the game are good. This includes
the fuse that is located INSIDE the power module.
Next, check to see that all of the connectors are firmly
seated and that none of the wires have pulled out of them.
When trying to find out if specific components are bad or
not, try swapping them with components from another
player station to see if the problem moves with the
component, or stays where it was. This will help you to
know if you have a problem with a specific component, or
maybe a problem with either the wiring or the Main P.C.
Board.
Use extreme caution when using probes or volt if the game
is powered up. If doing continuity checks, it is important to
disconnect the harnessing at both, as attached they may
yield erroneous results.
If P.C. Boards are suspected as causing problems, check
to see that all of the I.C. chips are firmly seated on the
boards.
If light bulbs are suspected, swap them with one that is
known to work to narrow the problem down to the bulb or
P.C. Board.
MECHANICAL
REPAIR
BALL RELEASE ASSEMBLY
WARNING: BE SURE POWER HAS BEEN REMOVED
FROM THE GAME BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Open the cash box drawer at least 6 inches.
Pull forward on the ball release cover. (The panel with the
clear plastic window) about 3 inches to disengage,
then lift off.
Remove the balls from the game.
Grasp the release assembly by the rail and slowly lift out,
being careful to avoid hitting the sensors on the cover
retaining screws.
Disconnect the connector that connects the release
assembly to the game.
SOLENOID REPLACEMENT
Remove the spring from the solenoid and mounting bolt.
