Title: Advice and Pachislo Parts Needed Post by: Frank A on March 28, 2011, 11:40:36 AM I have a Gamera High Vision Pachislo with issues. The LCD screen now lights up bright white and I get a NO SYNC error message. Prior to swapping out parts from another Gamera, the LCD did not light, but the game played with a dark screen. Now the game doesn't play but the screen lights up bright white. Does anyone know where I could send the boards in question for testing and repair ? Does anyone know what the NO SYNC message means ? If I am getting the error message on the LCD screen does that mean that the LCD screen is good ? Does anyone have parts available ? I would even buy the LCD assembly complete to solve the problem :103-.
Thanks, Frank A Title: Re: Advice and Pachislo Parts Needed Post by: StatFreak on March 28, 2011, 12:55:47 PM While we might have someone on NLG who knows about your Pachislo, you will probably be able to get more help from the pachitalk.com forum.

I am familiar with the model you are describing. I have seen that title for 250-350 from several sources. Do this: sell that one as broke and take that money and buy another Gamera (I am planning to get one soon!) I like the music and the lights on it for the bonus round.
Title: Re: Advice and Pachislo Parts Needed Post by: jay on March 28, 2011, 02:07:51 PM NO sync is probably a message from the LCD screen itself that it is not getting a Sync signal from the gameboard.
The fact that you can see this message probably means the screen is ok but the main game board is not sending out a signal. The transformer in the unit and this the power to the LCD screen sounds like it is working just fine. The first thing I would check is that the main board is getting a good power source - if your lucky this could be as simple as a fuse. Not to sound pestimistic but if its not a power issue I would be more inclinced to say your mainboard is pooched/fried/bit the biscuit/etc. There is not a lot else inside these machines to go wrong. They were built with 1 game in mind and are not a universal platform in which games can be swapped in/out. The Japanese regulate that the game must be retired after 2 years of service life. So they are not built with logevity in mind. I am always the optimist so www.pachitalk.com might be a better source for parts and help on this. If you are looking to cut your losses you can post a WTS (Want to Sell) your machine in our classified ads. People occasionally buy the chasis for $25-$35 and use them as a base to build a PC driven version of the Masque slot games or alternatively a E-jukebox.
