Monitor Removal

1.

Turn off and unplug the game.

2.

Unlock and open the bezel.

3.

Force games:

  Remove the 6 thumb-

nuts fastening the bezel to the game
(see Figure 4) and remove the bezel.

Ion games:

  Disconnect the dongle

wire from the top of the electronics
box and the fast-on connectors from
the coin mech (see Figure 5).  Remove
the 6 thumbnuts fastening the bezel to
the game (see Figure 4).  Lift up on the
bezel and disconnect the joystick
harness (black, 10-pin connector)
located between the bezel and the
wooden frame. Remove the bezel.

4.

Force games:

   

Carefully

 remove the

screws fastening the touchscreen
controller (see Figure 4) to the game
and

 

disconnect the cable from the back

of the controller; also disconnect the
ground screw.

Ion games: 

 Disconnect the touch-

screen controller cable from the
touchscreen controller (see Figure 5).

5.

If you will be reusing the existing
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
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.

6.

Disconnect the VGA monitor
connector, as well as the monitor
power connector and the monitor
control board connector. (For Force
games, see Figure 4; Ion games, see
Figure 5.)

7.

Remove the 4 screws fastening the
monitor to the game (see Figure 6) and
remove it.  Be sure to keep track of the
plastic standoffs under the monitor.

Monitor Installation

1.

Line up the monitor’s mounting brack-
ets over the corresponding holes on
the wooden frame and fasten with the
4 screws.  If necessary, rotate the
cable clips that are alongside the moni-
tor (they may be in the way of the
brackets). See Figure 6.

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 4 for Force games, Figure
5 for Ion games.)

3.

Clean the glass on the new LCD moni-
tor 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 overlap-
ping.  After the tape is in place on the
monitor, peel off the backing.  Care-
fully place the supplied or existing
touchscreen over the monitor in the
same manner that it was attached to
the old monitor, making sure the
screen is properly and evenly aligned
over the glass.

Force games:

   

Carefully

 connect the

touchscreen cable in the back of the

is in place.

4.

Ion games:

  Place the bezel on the

game and reconnect the 10-pin joy-
stick harness between the bezel and
wooden frame, then fasten the bezel
to the frame with the 6 thumbnuts. Re

connect the dongle wire and the coin
mech wires (green wire = COM, white
wire = OPEN). See Figure 5.

5.

Force games:

  Secure the bezel to

the game with the 6 thumbnuts.

6.

If there is a gap between the bezel
and the monitor, place foam tape
around the inside edge of the plastic
bezel.

7.

Plug in and turn on the game.

8.

When the game is finished booting,
press the CALIBRATE button.

Monitor Removal

1.

Turn off the game and unplug it from
its power source.

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; also remove the
cables from the 2 clamps attached to
the monitor.  See Figure 8.

4.

Remove the screws fastening the
touchscreen controller (see Figure 4)
to the game and 

carefully

 disconnect

the cable from the back of the
controller.  Disconnect the ground
screw, and release the cables from
the cable clamps.  See Figures 9 and
10.

5.

Remove the 10 screws securing the
plastic bezel to the wooden frame (see
Figure 8) 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 monitor 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 and
unscrew the supporting brackets from
the monitor. See Figure 11.

NOTE: Do not scratch the glass when
setting the monitor aside.

7.

If you will be reusing the existing
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. 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 screen with denatured alcohol and
clean the glass with the supplied
alcohol wipe.

Monitor Installation

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

1.

Clean the glass on the new LCD moni-
tor 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.  Af-
ter the tape is in place on the monitor,
peel off the backing.

2.

Carefully place the supplied or exisitng
touchscreen over the monitor in the
same manner the touchscreen was at-
tached 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.

Position the new LCD monitor on the
wooden frame as it will be mounted,
and mark the positions of the 4
mounting screws and 2 cable clamps
(see Figures 7 and 8).  Place the
monitor aside and drill holes in the
wooden frame for the screws and
clamps.  Reposition the monitor on the
wooden frame and fasten with 4
screws, and replace the 2 cable
clamps in the appropriate screw holes.
