Removal/Installation of Touchscreen -

Mr. VIPS

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.

3. Replace the new touchscreen over the picture tube (with the cable on the right if you are facing

the game), making sure the screen is properly and evenly aligned over the picture tube. Then
clean the front of the screen with the supplied alcohol wipe.

4. Connect the new touchscreen controller cable in the back of the controller and secure the

controller on the mounting screws in the game with the existing hardware (see Figure 11).  Also
connect the Molex connector (orange and gray wires) to the main power harness.

5. Remembering the manner in which the tape was placed around the touchscreen you removed,

place and cut a length of the supplied black poly tape evenly over an entire edge of the touch-
screen and repeat until all 4 edges are covered.

6. Place and cut a longer length of black poly tape around all 4 edges of the screen.

7.

Games with screws securing front of shroud:

Replace the bezel in the shroud and secure it with the 8 screws.  See Figures 2 and 6.

Games with bolts securing front of shroud:

Replace the shroud and small prize assembly, then secure the front of the shroud
with the 4 nuts and bolts removed earlier.

Slide the monitor back into position and secure it with the hardware removed earlier
(see Figures 7-9 for hardware locations).

Replace the 4 screws (6 per side) fastening the sides of the shroud to the game.
See Figure 1.

Replace the cable clamp fastening the small prize assembly light wiring to the moni-
tor frame.  See Figure 2.

8. Replace the cap and large prize assembly, then replace the 8 nuts and bolts fastening the prize

assembly to the game.  Then replace the 2 nuts and bolts fastening the cap to the game and
plug in the fluorescent light.  See Figure 1.
