Touchscreen Removal
1. Turn off and unplug the game.
2. Unlock and open the rear door.
3. Disconnect the monitor power connection (black and yellow wires) running to the power sup-
ply.
4. Disconnect the monitor signal cable from the motherboard and remove it from the cable clamps.
5. Inside the game, access the latches for each side panel and remove both panels (see Figure
1).
6. Remove the two nuts and washers securing the touchscreen controller to the game and re-
move the controller from the mounting screws. Then disconnect the cable from the back of the
controller and disconnect the Molex connector (orange and gray wires) running from the
touchscreen controller cable to the main power harness.
7. Remove the 3 screws at the top of each side piece fastening the top cover to the game (see
Figure 2) and remove the top cover.
8. Loosen the 5/16” nuts securing the 2 LCD clips (one on each side piece). See Figure 2.
9. Lift the bezel and monitor assembly from the game.
10. Remove the 3 screws on top of the front bezel (see Figure 2) and separate the bezel from the
monitor.
11. Use dental floss to carefully cut the foam tape holding the touchscreen to the monitor until you
are able to completely remove the touchscreen.
12. Remove any remaining adhesive residue with denatured alcohol, then clean the monitor glass
with the supplied alcohol wipe.
Touchscreen Installation
1. Clean the reverse side of the replacement touchscreen with the supplied alcohol wipe.
2. Cut pieces of the supplied 1/2” double-sided foam tape long enough to cover each edge of the
screen without overlapping. After the tape is in place on the screen, peel off the backing.
3. Replace the new touchscreen over the monitor (with the cable on the left if you are facing the
game), making sure the screen is properly and evenly aligned over the monitor glass. Then
clean the front of the screen with the supplied alcohol wipe.
4. Reattach the front bezel to the monitor with the 3 screws removed earlier. See Figure 2.
5. Replace the monitor assembly, aligning it with the support brackets inside the game and mak-
ing sure the LCD clips fit properly into the slots at the top of each side.
6. Tighten the nuts securing the 2 LCD clips. See Figure 2.
7. Replace the top cover.
8. Replace the 3 screws at the top of each side piece. The shorter screw will go in the screw hole
closest to the rear of the game. See Figure 2.
