Removing the Monitor

1.

Turn off and unplug the game.

2.

Unlock and open the bezel.

3.

Remove the 6 thumbnuts fastening the

bezel to the game (see Figure 3) and

remove the bezel.

4.

If you will not be reusing the existing

touchscreen, remove the cable clamps

securing the touchscreen cable and the

touchscreen power harness, then

remove the screws  fastening the

touchscreen controller (see Figure 3)

to the game and disconnect the cable

from the back of the controller.  Locate

and disconnect the Molex connector

(orange and gray wires) running from

the touchscreen controller cable to the

main power harness, and also

disconnect the ground screw.  See

Figure 3.

If you will be reusing the existing

touchscreen, disconnect the touch-

screen controller cable from the LCD

panel (see Figure 3).   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.  You will need to place the

touchscreen on a stable surface until

it is installed on the new monitor.  Then

remove any residual foam tape from

the reverse side of the screen with

denatured alcohol.

5.

Disconnect the VGA monitor connector

and ground screw, as well as the

monitor power connector.  Standard

monitors only: Also disconnect the

monitor control board connector.  See

Figure 3.

6.

Remove the 4 screws fastening the

monitor to the game (see Figure 4) and

remove it.  Be sure to keep track of the

plastic standoffs under the monitor.

Installing the Monitor

1.

With the plastic standoffs in place, in-

stall the new monitor in the game and

fasten it with the 4 screws (see Fig-

ure 4).

2.

Connect the VGA monitor connector

and ground screw, the monitor con-

trol board connector, and the monitor

power connector to the new monitor.

See Figure 3.

3.

If your replacement monitor already

has a touchscreen, connect the

touchscreen cable in the back of the

controller and secure the controller with

the existing hardware.  Also connect

the Molex connector (orange and gray

wires) to the main power harness (af-

ter routing the wires through the cable

clamps) and attach the ground screw.

See Figure 3.

If you are using the original touch-

screen, 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 over-

lapping.  After the tape is in place on

the monitor, peel off the backing.  Care-

fully place the touchscreen over the

monitor in the same manner it was at-

tached to the old monitor, making sure

the screen is properly and evenly

aligned over the glass, then connect

the cable to the LCD panel (see Figure

3).  Clean the front of the touchscreen

with the supplied alcohol wipe once it

is in place.

If you will not be reusing the existing

touchscreen, skip to the next step.  If

you will be reusing the touchscreen,

note the orientation of the screen (i.e.,

the positioning of the ribbon cable and

which side is the front) before

removing it from the LCD monitor.  Then

use dental floss to carefully cut the

foam tape holding the screen to the

monitor.  Once the touchscreen is

completely free from the monitor,

remove any residual foam tape from

the screen with denatured alcohol and

clean the glass with the supplied

alcohol wipe.

Installing the Monitor

NOTE: Be sure the monitor glass is not
scratched during installation.

1.

If your replacement monitor already

has a touchscreen, skip to step 3.  If

you will be using the original touch-

screen, 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 over-

lapping.  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 it was

attached to the old monitor, making sure

the screen is properly and evenly

aligned over the glass.  Clean the front

of the touchscreen with the supplied

alcohol wipe once it is in place.

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 9), and fasten it with the

10 screws.  Also replace the cable

clamps in the appropriate screw holes.

See Figure 8.

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 5).

5.

If the monitor has a new touchscreen,

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

wires) to the main power harness and

attach the ground screw.  Replace the

cables in the clamps as before.  See

Figure 7.

If the monitor has the original touch-

screen, reconnect the touchscreen

controller cable to the LCD panel (see

Figure 6).

6.

Connect the VGA monitor connector

and ground screw (do not over-

tighten), the monitor control board

connector, and the monitor power

connector (see Figure 5) to the new

monitor and replace the cables in the

2 clamps attached to the monitor.
