IGT Vision Pink Panther

[therockinelvis]

My game is booting up and plays except the Vision monitor is not coming on. Since the bonus game play's on monitor it's a problem. I still have sound from the cartoon clips just no picture. On boot up it say's waiting on video display then moves on the app start etc. reels spin led around screen comes on game ready and play's.

Inverter is bad.  Replace it and it should work fine.

64 dollar question. Where is the inverter? I am not an expert but catch on quickly. Any pictures, youtube would be great.

Have a look at this thread

OK I'm at a dead stop. I took my monitor to a TV repair and he say's there is nothing to replace on the boards and I can't find an invertor board. Any suggestions. Anybody rebuild or know where I can get one? John at Rudy's Deals has none. Only other thing is a used monitor.

[therockinelvis]

OK Guy's. I got brave and took it apart. Then I took apart a used monitor I bought, took the inverter board and put it in my monitor. Sooo proud of myself. Put it back in my machine and still no picture. Someone asked about if there is a picture when I shine a light on it. Yes there is, can see everything. Again the machine works as it should, just no picture. Sound from video cartoon's that play works. Now what? This is my Grandson's favorite machine. Please help

If you need a spare or replacement screen here is one on Flea Bay I saw.

Is that all I have to do is take four screws out of screen and put another screen in it's place along with the small ribbon cable?

Wow...cool trick with the flashlight!

therockinelvis,
Check out the post TZtech pointed out. I had the same problem, it was that fuse he showed. Not sure if you can just use any inverter from another monitor or not.
By the way, I am bidding on the screen r273 pointed out. I'll back off, only wanted an extra for another game. Go for it.

Thanks. I bought a monitor from TXslots from ebay. My invertor shows bad with continuity. I took the inverter board from TXslots and put on my monitor. Still blank. I should have tested it I guess. They said it was working when pulled. Not so sure now.

Hi,
i also have a vison Pink Panther.
Do you know how to disable the sound during the demo mode ?
not during the game, only during the iddl mode.
I haven't found where to shut it down in the menus.
thanks !
Jay

I thought Attract mode had its own volume adjustment? 

[nilgaming]

Maybe... but i haven't found it  ...

[therockinelvis]

I replaced the inverter with a good one. still picture does not light. When I shine a flashlight on it everything is working just no light. What now? Is there something on the back of the screen. Should I replace the screen with another? I have a Ms. Little Green men with the exact monitor. Should I try it on that machine?

[nilgaming]

Swapping parts is always a good idea when you have the chance to own twice the same machine.
This is what i would do.

OK when I replaced the inveertor, it was with a used one from a monitor from Ebay. It was bad. I got an new invertor (LS520) from FDP Design in CA. 909-355-3200 with a cost of $45.00 shipping included. Game is working great. Thanks so much for all the help. Another positive learning experience. I will be making a donation soon
