Repair Guide

No sound could be caused by a few different issues:

• A few of the games don't have perfectly working sound.
  • Try other games and see if they work.
• Speaker jack was unplugged during movement or shipping
  • Lay the unit on its back and remove the bottom panel. Ensure the speaker plug (as shown in the picture) is fully pushed in
• Speaker inline volume wheel got lowered during movement or shipping.
  • Unscrew the 4 screws that hold on the marquee panel up top. Remove the entire marquee as a single piece. Reach near the back and find the inline volume wheel and scroll it up or down to find the volume you desire. You'll want to have the unit playing a game at this time so you can hear music while adjusting.

If you see "No Signal" on the screen, that means the connection between the computer and the monitor is not working. This can be caused by a variety of reasons:

• HDMI cable was unplugged from the computer
  •  Look at the computer (as shown in the picture) and verify the HDMI plug on the back of the computer is fully plugged in
• DVI connection from the monitor was unplugged from the back of the monitor
  • Lay the unit on it's back and remove the bottom panel, follow the HDMI plug from the computer up to the back of the monitor and ensure it is plugged in. This uses a screw-in type connector so it would be extremely rare that this would be disconnected
• Computer is not getting power.
  • You might see lights and the monitor turning on, but it's possible the power adapter for the computer got knocked loose during movement or shipping.
  • Lay the unit on it's back and remove the bottom panel, look for the power adapter plug (as shown in the picture). Ensure that it is plugged into the powerstrip and the other end is plugged into the back of the computer. You should see green and/or red lights on the computer when it is getting power
• Computer system drive is corrupt.
  • It might be possible that either a storm or repetitive turning on/off the unit that the system disk went bad. This would cause the unit to not boot up and therefore not give signal to the monitor. Contact us for a replacement disk and follow the repair guide below for replacing the drive(s).

See this picture for a legend of what everything is:

1. Unplug the system and lay it on its back. If mounted on the wall, you may be able to work from underneath (be careful!)
2. Remove the 2 screws from the bottom panel and remove the panel
3. The computer is mounted on the back panel on the bottom right-hand side with all the cables plugged into it
   See this picture for a legend of what everything is:
   
   
4. Carefully remove the cables making note of where they go, but they are fairly obvious connectors. If your unit has some tape on the plugs, we add that only for shipping purposes. You can remove that, being careful not to bend any connectors while removing it. You won't need to put that back on.
5. Pry off the old computer from the wood. It will be held in place with industrial velcro and a metal bracket to hold it down.
   You may end up pulling off the entire velcro pad instead of separating the velcro parts. This is fine as the new computer has its own new velcro pair.
6. Reconnect all the connections to the new computer and stick it into the same place with the new velcro. Double check that the HDMI and audio jack connectors are fully pushed in to the computer. And note that the micro usb connector only fits in one direction. The same goes for the usb connections on the side.
7. If your new computer includes a new microsd and/or usb drive, use the new ones. Otherwise, take the one from the old computer and put it in the correct place on the new computer.
8. Put the bottom panel back on and put the 2 screws back
9. Plug it in and everything should be good to go.

1. Unplug the system and lay it on its back. If mounted on the wall, you may be able to work from underneath (be careful!)
2. Remove the 2 screws from the bottom panel and remove the panel
3. The computer is mounted on the back panel on the bottom right-hand side with all the cables plugged into it
   See this picture for a legend of what everything is:
   
   
4. Remove the microsd card by sliding it out with your thumbnail. Replace it with the new one. Note usb drives only fit one direction and the branding should be facing away from the computer.
5. Remove the usb drive by pulling it straight out. You may need to temporarily remove some other usb cables to get access to it. Replace it with the new one. Note usb drives only fit one direction.
6. Put the bottom panel back on and put the 2 screws back
7. Plug it in and everything should be good to go.

1. Unplug the system and lay it on its back.
2. Remove the 4 screws from the marquee panel at the top of the unit. The marquee itself comes off as a single piece.
3. Tilt the bottom of speaker panel up from the back, this will give finger space to reach in and lift the front panel out.
4. Remove the 2 screws from the main front panel, you will need to remove this panel to access the monitor.
   Be sure to keep both panels together. The graphic is sandwiched between these panels and you'll want to keep dust out.
5. Stand the unit on its bottom and note the round access hole behind the monitor. You will need a small phillips screwdriver to unscrew the mounting screw that holds the monitor to the back panel. That screw is located right near the bottom of that access hole.
   1. If your unit does not have a hole, or if you cannot get the screw from this direction, the alternative is to use a very long screwdriver and come in from the top.
      1. Remove the 2 screws from the top-back of the unit. This will allow the top panel to swivel up from the back
      2. Now you should be able to reach the long screwdriver down the back behind the monitor. Use a flashlight to see the screw.
6. Once the monitor has been unscrewed, it can be lifted out from the front.
7. Be sure you are replacing the monitor with the same model, otherwise the front graphic will likely not line up.
8. Remove the VESA mounting bracket, HDMI cable, and power cord from the rear of the monitor and put it on the new monitor.
9. Reverse your steps to mount the new monitor and put all screws back. You may want to test while open to ensure the new monitor is working properly

How to replace a bad button

1. Unplug the system and lay it on its back.
2. Remove the 2 screws from the bottom panel and remove the panel
3. Locate the bad button from the underside of the control panel
4. Determine if the button is bad, or just the light is bad. If the light is out, but the button works, then only the light may need to be replaced.
   1. If using the microswitch style of button, you can grab the switch assembly and turn counter-clockwise 1/4 turn. You should feel it click and release. Pull that out and leave wired
      1. If it is just a bad light, you can swap out the LED light here as you would a holiday light bulb. Replacement LEDs are available through us or on eBay if you search for "Arcade button LEDs".
      2. If the actual switch is broken, hold the button from the topside and unscrew the nut from the bottom. Swap out the button and screw the new one in place. Note the original direction of the button plunger as it needs to go in the same way as the old button to ensure the wires reach properly.
   2. If using an all-in-one button where the light and button are all one assembly, you will need to replace the whole button regardless of the issue. Two of the wires (usually Red/Black) at the bottom of these buttons are for the button control, the other two wires (usually black) are for the button lights.
      1. To remove the button control wires, you will need something like a toothpick to press the tiny release level on the connectors, and slide them off.
      2. To remove the lighting wires, you will need to just pull hard to get them off. Careful not to pull off the actual connector from the wires. You may need to use needle-nose pliers to ensure you are pulling the right area.
      3. Once the wires are removed, hold the button from the topside and unscrew the nut from the bottom. Swap out the button and screw the new one in place. The button alignment doesn't matter in this case as the wires are more freely movable.
      4. The button control wires can be put back in any order, but the LED wires have to follow polarity. You may need to plug the unit back in while on its back to see which way they go to light up the new button before fully pushing them in.
5. Test the buttons in a game that uses those buttons to the new button is working correctly.
6. Put the bottom panel back in place.

1. Unplug the system and lay it on its back. If mounted on the wall, you may be able to work from underneath (be careful!)
2. Remove the 2 screws from the bottom and remove the panel.
3. The computer is mounted on the back panel on the bottom right-hand side.

4. Note the spot for "usb drive". There should be one more open usb spot there and that is where you put the usb dongle that is inside the battery compartment of one of the gamepads
5. Put the bottom panel back on and plug it back in.
6. Under the "Arcade" system menu, choose "4-Player Games"
   Here is a list of about 40 games that are 4 player compatible
   On the gamepads, the first one turned on is player 3, the second one is player 4
   Select button is insert coin, Start is player start
   Action buttons vary per game so test them for each game you play.
