Title: S2000/Vision Audio & Monitor HELP?
Post by: Doberman on November 01, 2010, 04:48:50 PM
O.K. You all have been great to me in solving my Setup & Out of Service settings on my S2000/Vision Ms. Little Green Men 3-Reel Mfg. 10/02, but I have 2 issues remaining.
Since my stupidity began over the weekend trying to fix my machine with no clue, I am left with 2 issues.
1) After sticking my beak where it didn't belong inside I have lost audio. (entered settings, cranked up the volume but can only hear a faint sound when I stick my ear up to the speaker)
2) My original problem: Purchased machine last weekend and after bringing it home, I had no picture on the monitor. (light trim around monitor is working fine as was everything else until I showed up thinking I was a competent technician (bonehead idea)
Wife has me scheduled for execution on Friday unless I make these two problems go away. I'm hoping someone has suggestions or a member of my NLG Crew that has bailed me out to this point (see previous posts) is willing to HELP!
Thanks for everything, sincerely.

Do you have a tray speaker?
Is it connected?
Did you stick anything metal in there anywhere?
Did you see sparks? Smell smoke?

We're dealing with highly sensitive IC components.
Are you grounded out with ESD equipment?
A wristband at least?
Did you take out the MPU with the power on?
Backtrack into time...
The machine's power should be "OFF" when disconnecting/reconnecting anything.

What is happening ( In complete detail) when you power up?
Remember, the more you tell us - the more we'll tell you!

Details, details, details, etc, etc, etc...then the source of the problems will be found!

Hi Stayoutofdabunker,
I appreciate the help!
1) Audio:
a) Never had the impression tray speaker worked despite having sound in both upper speakers
b) No metal, sparks, smoke (had fire extinguisher standing by)
c) ESD kinda forgot about the static elec. Thing when I panicked (wife was breathing down my neck)
d) Obviously no wristband (I think you are starting to believe I really am an idiot!)
e) MPU I pulled it out and returned it to make sure it was seated & connected only (honest)
2) Monitor:
a) Worked great in original owners garage. Apparently didn't like the trip home
b) Removed top glass to check connections
3) Display Reads During Power Up:
a) display passes self test
b) please wait testing memory
c) waiting for video display
d) ms verify app start
e) waiting for video display
f) please wait
g) restart
h) play 5 coins

Hope this helps!
Sounds like I should tell my wife to go ahead and make my funeral arrangements?

Bingo! I got it! (maybe)
While it was in the car laying on it's back and you were going over
the Sierra Madre mountain Range with your high-axle clearance Range Rover in 4-wheel drive -
I think the I/O card connector came ajar...
Shove the connector back on!

Mounted on the side of the processor, or is there also something on the inside of the door?
