Touchscreen Removal
1. Turn off and unplug the game.
2. Unlock and remove the upper rear door.
3. To remove the large prize assembly, first remove the 2 nuts and bolts fastening the cap and
unplug the fluorescent light assembly, then remove the remaining 8 nuts and bolts fastening the
prize assembly to the game. The cap and prize assembly can be removed together. See
Figure 1.
4. To proceed with touchscreen removal, first determine the type of hardware securing the shroud
to your game. See Figures 2 and 3.
Games with screws securing front of shroud:
•
To remove the front bezel from the shroud, remove the 4 screws on the underside of
the bezel (see Figure 2), then remove the 4 screws (2 per side) on either side of the
front bezel (see Figure 6). The bezel can then be removed.
Games with bolts securing front of shroud:
•
Remove the cable clamp fastening the small prize assembly light wiring to the moni-
tor frame. See Figure 5.
•
From inside the game, access and remove the 4 screws (2 per side) fastening the
sides of the shroud to the game. See Figure 6.
•
Remove the bolts and nuts (there may be as many as 6) securing the monitor to the
game (see Figures 7-9 for possible locations). Then carefully pull the monitor
towards you until you have enough room to access the 4 nuts securing the bolts
holding the front of the shroud to the game. Remove the nuts and bolts, then carefully
remove the shroud and small prize assembly from the game.
5. Remove the black poly tape (see Figure 10) from around the edges of the old touchscreen,
keeping the manner in which the tape was placed around the screen in mind.
6. Remove the two nuts and washers securing the touchscreen controller to the inside of the
monitor (see Figure11) and remove 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. Use dental floss to carefully cut the foam tape holding the touchscreen to the picture tube until
you are able to completely remove the touchscreen.
8. Remove any remaining adhesive residue with denatured alcohol, then wipe the surface of the
picture tube with the supplied alcohol wipe.
Touchscreen Installation
1. Clean the reverse side of the replacement touchscreen with the supplied alcohol wipe.
2. Peel the backing from the 8 pieces of double-sided foam tape already adhered to the reverse
side of the touchscreen.
