Title: Newb w/ Video problems Post by: ccw.in.az on June 02, 2010, 01:52:32 AM I think a video is worth a thousand words :-) ! I am not new to slots but I have never had a video machine or an IGT. All of my machines are Bally slots.
What do you folks think? http://s220.photobucket.com/albums/dd180/05lariatPSD/Videos/?action=view¤t=IGT_Poker.flv (http://s220.photobucket.com/albums/dd180/05lariatPSD/Videos/?action=view¤t=IGT_Poker.flv) By the way, the game plays fine coins in, etc...

Title: Re: Newb w/ Video problems Post by: ccw.in.az on June 02, 2010, 02:37:03 AM Thanks for the quick reply! Any caps in particular, or replace all of them?
I am not a newb at soldering electronics components by any mea ns (built too many HeathKits growing up :92- ) but is there something I should be careful of when working on or around the CRT (seems to me i remember something about discharging???)? Thanks again...Dave--- Title: Re: Newb w/ Video problems Post by: knagl on June 02, 2010, 07:34:28 AM is there something I should be careful of when working on or around the CRT (seems to me i remember something about discharging???)? Yes, be sure to discharge the CRT before performing service on the monitor. The good news is that the Ceronix chassis on the PE+ is supposed to be self-discharging. That means that in theory, there won't be much of a charge if any. Better safe than sorry, however. The first half of this video shows a pretty good demonstration of how to discharge the monitor and remove the high voltage wire from the tube. The rubber glove the guy is wearing is useless, but the screwdriver-attached-to-the-frame is how I was taught to discharge a monitor, and they don't scare me anymore -- I just have a nice respect for them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDAiLtTDuf4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDAiLtTDuf4) You likely won't get a spark (again due to the self-discharging circuitry). If you want even less chance of getting one, remove the power to the machine and wait a day or two before doing the discharge procedure. It's not too scary, though. Just respect the potential for danger, and take your time discharging the monitor. Title: Re: Newb w/ Video problems Post by: ccw.in.az on June 02, 2010, 12:18:53 PM Great info on discharging the crt. Now, can someone help me with which caps to replace or should all of them be replaced?

Title: Re: Newb w/ Video problems Post by: ccw.in.az on June 02, 2010, 06:10:44 PM I just spoke to Joe and had to agree with Buzz and Joe that for $45 it's a no brainer to send the chassis out to Ceronix. Sooo...UPS, here I come! Thanks for all of the help everyone!!!!! :199-
