Field Bulletin
Issue:
There are reports of hard drives overheating in Prize Farm machines.
Games Affected:
All Prize Farm games manufactured before 10/08/10. The game’s manufacture date is
indicated by the first six digits of its serial number (MM/DD/YY).
Solution:
The system’s hard drive must be moved to prevent issues. Follow the instructions below.
1. Turn off and unplug the game.
2. Unlock and open the top door of the unit.
3. Unlock and open the bottom door of the unit.
4. Disconnect the 2 power cables, 2 USB cables, the monitor cable, and the 18-pin connector that run into the
front of the CPU tower. Additionally, if your system has an Ethernet cable connected to the front of the
system, you’ll need to disconnect that as well.
5. Slide the CPU tower out of the cabinet.
NOTE: On some models you will need to remove the nut on the
plate in front of the CPU tower in order to remove the tower from the system (see Figure 1 for nut
location).
6. Loosen the two thumbnuts on the side of the CPU tower and slide the side cover off the tower.
7. Remove the two screws on the side of the CPU tower that hold the hard drive in place (see Figure 2 for
screw location), then disconnect the IDE and power cables from the hard drive and remove the drive from
the CPU tower.
NOTE: On some models you will need to remove two additional screws in order to
remove the hard drive. These screws are located on the front of the tower, just above the DVD
drive. These screws will not be reused.
