Repair on arcade machine... need help.
I am back to work after some vacation and am trying to repair an arcade machine.
Machine: crusin' exotica (made by Midway (sp?)) - the one with the numeric keyboard where you can enter an PIN ID. Problem: "Crashes" when tries to get record times. Causes a reboot and makes the machine go into self test. When the machine does not crash I get sh*t data [1] at high score tables. I've never worked at those machines but I guess they're like a video game machine or computer + monitor. It looks like a RAM problem. Has anyone here info on repair of arcade machines? [1] It looks like this: 1 XXXXXX 00:00:00 2 000000 00:00:00 Thanks. -- Chaos® - posting from Brazil remove the number of the beast - 666 |

Could be that record times are kept in one of those little serial EEPROMS, and the problem is there. Should not be hard to find if it is. |

Has anyone here info on repair of arcade machines? a lot of Midway games are hard drive based & if so you may have bad sectors set the drive as a slave, put it in your PC and run 'chkdisk' |
