Title: Help with Vision Post by: triplediamond on May 31, 2012, 12:41:29 PM My Boss has a vision machine that boots up normal, game plays fine,when it warms up the LCD screen starts to go lighter and lighter and eventually goes black....I have read posts on this and it sounds like it needs to be gone over to see if something needs resoldered,he has changed the battery so I know that is not an issue,In the mean time I was going to order another one..the other question is the button deck and belly glass has no lights everything else seems to work...what would cause the lights to go out?
Thanks Eric Title: Re: Help with Vision Post by: cowboygames on May 31, 2012, 12:52:11 PM 1) LCD monitor going black after warmup is likely capacitor problems in the monitor
2) Button deck livhts not working, if it's all of them, could be bad bulbs or an IO card issue 3) Belly glass light could be a bulb or the transformer if the reel and top box lights still work as all three run frpm the same source Hope this helps Title: Re: Help with Vision Post by: stayouttadabunker on May 31, 2012, 12:55:15 PM A cold-solder joint can do this...
I am not certain which IC component on the MPU board up in the topbox LCD unit would do this. A capacitor on the LCD board? ADDED>>> Cowboy has his fast six-guns out! :72- Title: Re: Help with Vision Post by: cowboygames on May 31, 2012, 01:01:49 PM Lol, got my new Triple Double Diamond Deluxe with Cheese yesterday so I'm in a good mpod Bunker.

HeyEric! Pick up an LCD computer and swap the old one outta there! It's had it like an old tv ! Beside, the LCD computers aren't a major expense...I've seen a few for sale at decent prices. :89- Title: Re: Help with Vision Post by: triplediamond on May 31, 2012, 01:06:01 PM Reel and top lights still work ...not to long ago I changed out the door IO,if one bulb is burnt it wouldnt cause the rest to go out correct? all the button lights are out but the buttons itself work ,the source where these lights run from...if it was bad the buttons wouldnt function at all correct ?
Thanks for the speedy replies Title: Re: Help with Vision Post by: stayouttadabunker on May 31, 2012, 01:12:36 PM Deck buttons have two separate lines.
One is for the logic signals which derive their power from the MPU. The other is for the lamps - different voltage altogether and comes from the power supply panel. Check your power supply out with a m u l t i - m e t e r. Could be just a bad grounded wire somewhere? Title: Re: Help with Vision Post by: triplediamond on May 31, 2012, 01:14:26 PM I will order the lcd ...Rudy,s has a few ...not bad on the pricing either , it probably wouldnt hurt to order a Door IO at the same time?
What about the transformer for the belly light...i havent looked around yet but do you have to order one or could I pick one up around town ? Thanks Mark....Cowboy Congrats on your new toy :3- I will check the power supply also |
