Other than having played Megatouch games, I'm not really familiar with the insides of them.  Hopefully someone will chime in soon to help you.  In the mean time, you may want to go ahead and post pictures of what you're talking about to potentially help someone help you with your machine.

You can post up to two pictures per post when you attach them to the post using the forum's software.  You may create as many replies in the thread as you need if you would like to post more than two pictures.

If your pictures won't upload here, chances are that they're too large to be accepted by the forum software. Here's a way around that:

 An alternate method of adding pictures is:

Visit http://www.tinypic.com/ , click the "Browse..." button to locate a picture on your computer, and then from the "Resize" drop-down box where it says "Default", change that to "15" Screen (800x600)".  Then click the big green "Upload Now" button and you'll be set.

Once the picture uploads, just copy the text labeled "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" and paste it into a post here.

sorry couldn,t find book but never saw a board like the one with round plug looks like a sound blug

the plug it the old at style keyboard connector

there should be a place on main board where you plug in a key b or mouse they were use on most megas    your has a hard drive right?

Yes has hard drive I have 2 main boards for this the one where that plugs in don't have the serial number sticker on the other does so will that send info to credit meter

i have never seen that board before so i,m not sure what it,s for i,ll look at a few ct games i have today to see if any has that board

ok can get into setup just no sound now and no coins registering

i have found it is a emerald edition if any help

i too have a em ed   but i don,t have that extra little board  try turning up sound in setup and puting on free play  dose it have a dollar unit?

no a coin unit as in uk

i have running but no sound not concerned about coin meter

Okay, have you turned up the volume in the settings menu?

Next, start tracing wires.  Make sure that the wires are securely connected to the speaker and the main board of the game.  If it's a removable connection (like a wiring harness plug), try unplugging and re-plugging the connections.  Look for any signs of physical damage to the speaker.

There is a headphone jack for speaker but the problem is the lead into sound card having prob where to plug leads
