Symptom Cause Required Action
Video Game Machine 
(VGM) does not start.
VGM appears com-
pletely non-functional.
No audio
No illumination
No video displayPower problem 1. Check power is switched on.
2. Make sure fans are turning. If not: Is the power
supply connected to its power cable? Is power
supply turned on?
3. Plug cord into AC power outlet. Verify presence of
AC line voltage.
Improper line volt-
age switch setting1. Turn off power. Unplug AC line cord. Check line 
voltage switch. If necessary, set it to agree with 
local AC line voltage. Retest game.
Open fuse 1. Turn off power. Examine AC fuse on power chas-
sis. 
2. Examine DC fuses on cabinet wall or electronic
equipment shelf.
3. Replace faulty fuses with identically rated parts.
4. Turn on game power. If fuse opens again, check
DC wiring harness and connectors.
Faulty wiring 1. Remove line cord. Test line cord, power plug, and 
IEC connector for breaks or damage. Verify conti-
nuity of each wire in cord. Install cord on power 
chassis. Press connector firmly to seat it. 
2. Assure that cabinet wiring harness connectors
fully seat in corresponding power supply and
board connectors. 
3. Inspect wiring for breaks or damage.
Video Game Machine 
(VGM) does not start.
VGM accepts cur-
rency or tokens.
Audio and video are 
present.Faulty coin mech-
anism1. Unlock and open coin door. Check each currency 
acceptor to assure proper mounting. Verify each 
release latch is closed and locked.
2. Test mechanism with good and bad coins to see if
mechanism accepts and rejects currency cor-
rectly. 
3. Inspect to see if external acceptor indicators (Pric-
ing, Flashing Arrows, etc.) are lit. 
4. Verify each acceptor operates properly by placing
it in working game. Replace bad parts.
Faulty switches 1. Press and hold the TEST MODE switch inside 
coin door to enter Menu System. Select SWITCH 
TESTS from the Diagnostics Menu. Conduct test 
to confirm operation of each switch.
2. Assure no loose parts or wires are caught in
switch contacts.
3. Check for continuity in each suspect switch con-
nection (Common to Normally Open or Common
to Normally Closed). 
4. Replace faulty switches (bent levers, broken actu-
ators, etc.).

VGM accepts cur-
rency or tokens.
Audio and video are 
present.Faulty wiring 1. Assure no wires are caught in hinges, latches or 
switch contacts.
2. Check wiring continuity from circuit board connec-
tors to acceptors.
Video Game Machine 
(VGM) appears non-
functional.
Currency acceptor 
price indicator is illumi-
nated.Power problem 1. Inspect circuit boards under low-light conditions. 
The LED’s glow and the fan turns when processor 
circuits receive voltage and indicate presence of 
DC from power supply. However, voltages or sig-
nals may not be normal. 
2. Turn on power. Set the digital voltmeter to the 20-
volt DC setting and measure DC voltages at
power connector pins. Adjust the +5V source if
necessary. Refer to the Cabinet Wiring Diagram
for specific wiring information and voltage limits. 
3. Set the digital voltmeter to the 2-volt AC setting
and measure DC voltages at power connector
pins. Any reading here indicates that supply volt-
ages are unstable and may contain ripple or noise.
Faulty wiring 1. Turn off power. Check wiring harness connectors 
attach and fully seat onto mating board connec-
tors. Verify harness connects to CPU Board. 
Check other connectors in same way.
Improper  DIP 
switch settings1. Check DIP switch settings.
Faulty circuit

1. Run power-up self-test sequence. Note errors or 
failures during test. Compare LED’s with LED indi-
cator status charts. Note discrepancies.

LINKING PROBLEM TROUBLESHOOTING 
Symptom Cause Required Action
Cannot connect multi-
ple Video Game 
Machines (VGMs)  
togetherFaulty wiring  1. Do not extend linking cables supplied with VGM.
2. Install required crossover between cabinets. Each
coupler connects two VGMs (one pair). Do not use
standard telephone type couplers or wiring for link-
ing.
3. Use only 10 Base-T, Ethernet-type, Category 5,
twisted-pair wiring. 
Improper linking 
hardware1. Use required network hub for your local network. 
A Hub Link Kit permits up to four VGM connec-
tions. Array completion requires basic kit brackets 
and spacers.
VGM does not recog-
nize other players in 
linking operation
VGM functions nor-
mally by itselfImproper settings 1. Record any error messages that occur during self-
test. 
2. From the Diagnostic Menu select DIP SWITCH
TEST. Confirm the link is enabled. 
3. Be sure that each VGM has a unique ID number. 
4. Select LINKING TEST from the Diagnostic menu.
Run tests for each linked VGM. 
Power problem 1. Verify the hub receives power.  AC adapter wires 
are thin and easily damaged.
Faulty wiring
(3 or more VGMs)1. Inspect hub indicator lights. Illuminated indicator 
lights for each active port light up if the cable(s) 
are properly connected. Check for cable continuity 
from hub to VGM for each indicator that failed to 
light. 
2. Assure no loose wires are caught in hinges, doors
or under cabinet.
3. Verify linking cable connects to CPU Board for
each game. 
4. Verify each linking cable operates properly by
placing it in working game. 
CAUTION
Do not remove or install any connector when the power is turned on. Installation under power 
will damage the circuit boards, ROM’s or hard disk drive and void the warranty.

Symptom Cause Required Action
Some Video Game 
Machines (VGMs) in 
group link properly, 
while others do notImproper hub 
switch setting1. Assure switches on hub are set according to Hub 
Link Kit instructions. (VGMs on a network do not 
require couplers. Hub has electronic crossover.)
2. Inspect hub indicator lights for link activity. See
manufacturer’s literature for diagnostics.
Wrong software 
versionVerify all linked VGMs use same version of software. 
Error message “VERSION MISMATCH” will appear if 
you try to link different versions. Contact your distribu-
tor.
Faulty wiring
(2 VGMs)1. Insert only the supplied crossover connection 
between coupled VGMs. Standard couplers 
appear identical to devices supplied with games, 
but do not include an internal crossover.
2. Verify each linking crossover coupler operates
properly by placing it in a working link between two
VGMs.
Faulty wiring
(3 or more VGMs)1. Use an additional crossover connector and cable 
to extend game or hub link connection. Two cross-
overs cancel each other out and results in same 
problem as no link crossover. 
2. Connect cables directly to hub. Do not use a
crossover coupler and hub together in single net-
work.
3. Separate communications wiring from other wir-
ing. Wires that must cross can only cross at right
angles to limit noise pickup.
CAUTION 
Do not remove or install any connector when power is turned on. Installation under power will 
damage the circuit boards, ROM’s or hard disk drive and void the warranty.

2. Examine fuses and cables on Wheel Driver Board.
Replace bad fuses. Use digital voltmeter to verify
AC voltage between each fuse holder and ground.
You should measure approximately 25V. See Wir-
ing Diagram.
3. Use the 20-VAC setting on digital voltmeter to
measure DC voltage at motor. Do not move steer-
ing wheel, drive belt, or motor while making this

TYPICAL CUTAWAY REAR VIEW
CAUTION 
Do not remove or install any connector when power is turned on. Installation under power will 
damage the circuit boards or ROM’s and void the warranty.
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE. 
Video Game Machine (VGM) monitors 
generate and store potentially lethal high voltages. 
Avoid touching any part of the monitor until power has been off for some time. A picture tube 
can maintain a hazardous charge for up to several days. Only qualified technicians should 
service monitors. Turn off the power, unplug the VGM and discharge the CRT before 
attempting service. Even properly discharged tubes can revert to a highly charged state, 
without reapplication of power.
WARNING  
In normal operation, the monitor doesn’t require isolation from AC line voltage. During bench 
servicing, you may need to operate the monitor outside the cabinet. If you do, isolate the 
monitor from line voltage with an isolation transformer.
CAUTION 
Do not operate the monitor without its Remote Adjustment Board.
WARNING: HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE. 
If you drop a fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly 
eight feet or more from the implosion.
