Title: I game Bonus Round... Monitor "FREEZE" Post by: cp on July 18, 2010, 03:08:56 PM Running into a problem with I game "freezing" only during the bonus round. ( Game theme: Fortune Cookie ). LCD monitor.
Thought, perhaps eproms / simms are faulty... replaced with another set of eproms / simms. Same issue... game will freeze ONLY in the bonus rounds... AND not all the time while machine is in bonus round will it freeze... some time will freeze in bonus round...sometimes not ! :103- Otherwise "regular" game play ...no problems whatsoever. Anyone encountered this ? LCD issue ? ( Innolux LCD ).... or Power Supply issue ? or ??? Thanks. Title: Re: I game Bonus Round...

I have a CRT. Never had it happen during gameplay though. I've swapped games and have seen the same behavior.
Title: Re: I game Bonus Round... Monitor "FREEZE" Post by: kforeman on July 20, 2010, 07:36:57 PM CRT or LCD monitor shouldn't make any difference, the monitors only function is to display whatever video the game sends it. :89- a machine can actually function with no problems without any monitor of any kind; simillarly a reel game will still function without reel strips installed, the player just won't have any idea what's going on. :200-
the suggestion of replacing the power supply is worth a try also but i still think there is an mpu or software issue since it only happens during the bonus round. :25- :25- Title: Re: I game Bonus Round...

Pricey, but well worth it. (500$)

That one would be a SUPER tough sell to my wife after buying a Game King AND an S2000 all within a 30 day period!

There is another thread on here about using a regular old flat panel and a special CGA inverter? I don't know, do a search. I think it was an ELO touch screen and Rocket said you can't use that with IGT products, etc, etc. 3m touch screen, etc ,etc......lots of banter back and forth. Just do a search on ELO touchscreen.
