To replace the monitor chassis board in your

Megatouch FORCE Classic game:

Monitor Chassis Board Removal

Turn off the game and unplug it

from its power source.

Unlock and remove the coin box or coin

box/bill acceptor assembly.

Unlock and open the rear door. To re-

move the lid, first disconnect the fan

power connector, then the plastic tub-

ing (from lid end) and ground strap.

Also remove the monitor control board

attached with velcro to the inside of

the game. Then press up on the spring-

loaded levers (located on each side of

the lid), push the levers forward, and

lift and remove the lid. Also remove the

front bezel. See Figures 1 and 2.

Remove the two thumbnuts securing

the touchscreen controller and discon-

nect the green ground wire with the

ring lug that is attached to the metal-

work next to the controller.

Disconnect the touchscreen controller

cable from the back of the controller

and disconnect the Molex connector

connecting the orange and gray wires

(from the touchscreen controller cable)

to the harness. Then replace the

touchscreen controller on the mount-

ing screws so it does not interfere with

the rest of the monitor chassis board

replacement process, but do not se-

cure it.

Disconnect the monitor signal cable on

the motherboard. See Figure 3 for con-

nector location.

Disconnect the (2)-pin monitor power

connection (black and white wires)

from the power supply and the monitor

ground wire from the game.

Remove the four 11/32” kepnuts se-

curing the monitor chassis to the main

chassis; two nuts are located on each

side of the monitor board. See Figure

NOTE: BE CAREFUL TO AVOID THE
FLYBACK TRANSFORMER AND HIGH
VOLTAGE WIRE RUNNING TO THE
MONITOR.

Pick up the monitor assembly and re-

move it from the cabinet. Be careful of

the wires on the neck board.

10. Remove the (2) screws fastening the

chassis board and metal tray to the

game (see Figure 5), then carefully po-

sition the board assembly so you can

make the necessary disconnections.

11. Remove the ground connector and the

monitor signal cable from the neck

board. See Figure 6.

12. Disconnect the 4-pin yoke assembly

connector from the monitor chassis

board. See Figure 7.

13. Carefully remove the glue where the

neck board connects to the picture tube,

then carefully remove the board.

NOTE: Do not twist the neck board dur-
ing removal.

14. Disconnect the A/C power connector

from the monitor chassis board. See

Figure 7.

15. Disconnect the degaussing power con-

nector (red wires) from the monitor

chassis board. See Figure 7.

nector to the connector labeled “YOKE”

on the monitor chassis board. See Fig-

ure 7.

24. Reconnect the ground connector and

monitor signal cable on the neck board.

See Figure 6.

25. Line up the screw holes on the edge of

the monitor chassis board with the

screw holes inside the game and se-

cure the board to the game with the (2)

screws.

26. Loosely reinstall the monitor assembly

with the existing hardware, but do not

secure it.

27. Reconnect the monitor power connec-

tor to the power supply (black and

white wires), then reconnect the moni-

tor ground wire.

28. Reconnect the monitor signal cable to

the motherboard. See Figure 3.

29. Route the touchscreen controller con-

nector under the picture tube and away

from the flyback transformer. Then re-

connect the touchscreen controller

cable in the back of the controller and

secure the controller with the existing

hardware.

30. Reconnect the molex connector con-

necting the orange and gray wires to

the main harness, then place the ring

lug on the touchscreen controller

ground to the metalwork and secure it

with the existing hardware.

31. After replacing the front bezel, make

sure all wires are clear of the area.

Then install the hood on the chassis,

connecting the fan power connector,

monitor control board, ground strap,

and plastic drain tube. Pull the hood

towards you until the spring-loaded le-

vers lock into place.

32. Slide the monitor assembly forward as

far as possible until there are no gaps

between the bezel and the monitor.

Then secure the assembly with the ex-

isting hardware.

33. Plug in and turn on the game.

34. Use the SETUP and CALIBRATE but-

tons and the monitor control board to

adjust the monitor settings, if neces-

sary.
