Touchscreen Removal
(games without electronic boxes)
1. Turn off and unplug the game.
2. Unlock and open the bezel.
3. Disconnect the VGA monitor connector and ground screw, the monitor control board connector,
and the monitor power connector and also remove the cables from the 2 clamps attached to
the monitor. See Figure 1.
4. Remove the screws fastening the touchscreen controller to the game and disconnect the
cable from the back of the controller. Then locate and disconnect the Molex connector (orange
and gray wires) running from the touchscreen controller cable to the main power harness.
After disconnecting the ground screw, pull the cables out of the clamps. See Figures 2 and 3.
5. Remove the 10 screws securing the plastic bezel to the wooden frame (see Figure 1) and
carefully remove the bezel from the game. Be careful not to damage the bezel with the coin
cup during removal. NOTE: Keep track of all hardware removed in the touchscreen replacement
process.
6. Place the bezel assembly upside-down on a flat surface and remove the 10 screws fastening
the LCD monitor to the bezel (remember which 2 screws also fasten cable clamps), then
remove the monitor from the bezel. See Figure 4. NOTE: Be sure the glass is not scratched
when setting the monitor aside.
7. Note the orientation of the touchscreen cable before removing the screen. Then use dental
floss to carefully cut the foam tape holding the touchscreen to the monitor until you are able to
completely remove the screen. Once the touchscreen is completely free from the monitor,
remove any residual foam tape from the monitor with denatured alcohol.
Touchscreen Installation
(games without electronic boxes)
1. Clean the glass on the new LCD monitor with the supplied alcohol wipe, then cut pieces of the
supplied 1/2” foam tape long enough to cover each edge of the monitor without overlapping.
After the tape is in place on the monitor, peel off the backing.
2. Carefully place the touchscreen over the monitor in the same manner as the old screen,
making sure the screen is properly and evenly aligned over the glass. Then clean the front of
the screen with the supplied alcohol wipe.
3. Place the new LCD monitor in the bezel (make sure it is not upside-down), lining up the screw
holes on the face of the mounting frame with the larger, drilled holes on the plastic mounting
pieces (see Figure 5), and fasten it with the 10 screws. Also replace the cable clamps in the
appropriate screw holes (see Figure 4).
4. Carefully replace the plastic bezel assembly in the game, making sure the coin cup protrudes
into the lower cutout and no wires are pinched, then secure it to the wooden frame with the 10
screws (see Figure 1).
5. Connect the touchscreen controller cable in the back of the controller and secure the controller
in the game with the existing hardware. Then connect the Molex connector (orange and gray
