Removal/Access of Printed Circuit Boards - All Cabinets

NOTE:

Before handling any boards, observe the following procedures: Prevent Electro-Static Discharge by storing the boards in the
anti-static bags in which they are shipped. Removing any static charge from your body before handling the boards. Using a
ground strap when handling the boards. When plugging in connectors to the board, make sure the connector is inserted
straight onto the header and that the connector covers all header pins. Do not connect any peripheral device to the board, if
the power is still connected to the peripheral or if power is already applied to the board.

Motherboard (Telco or DeAmeritech)

1. Turn off game and disconnect it from all power.

2. Locate and gain access to the motherboard (If unsure where to locate your motherboard, see

you're game manual).

3. Disconnect all connectors from the CPU and I/O boards. Use Figures 1 and 2 to determine

board type and connector locations.

4. Using a 1/4” nut driver, remove the two- (2) nuts from the motherboard assembly (shown in

Figures 1 and 2).

5. Insert the board into an anti-static bag for storage.

CRT-500 I/O Board

1. Turn off game and disconnect it from all power.

2. Locate and gain access to the CRT-500 I/O board (If unsure where to locate your

motherboard, see your game manual).

3. Disconnect all connectors from the I/O board (see Figures 1 and 2 for connector locations).

4. Using a 1/4” nut driver, remove the two- (2) nuts from the I/O board securing it to the standoffs
