Jacro017 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 is it this one ? that's it......also do you have any repair advice?It powers on,has audio,the games come on but are scrambled/filcker,thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas10e Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 the one I have has is solid blue on top . IMO probably the most solid built PNP of them all fresh batteries, clean battery terminals if a previous set of batteries corroded (white vinegar / baking soda / q-tips) if above ok, try bending the cable up or down where it enters the unit, it may reveal conductor broke inside cable also do you have component connection on TV? (yellow) or is it R-B-G ? I hadn't disassembled this particular unit before. I hope others can chime in with any more advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope others can chime in with any more advice Thanks for these tips...will try new batteries when I get home and hopefully that does the trick!Although if a fail at least I donated $4 to Goodwill and will have a nice display piece....has the yellow/white connections.Prior batteries didn't look to be corroded hopefully just on the way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas10e Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I check the individual batteries with a volt meter ( OCD ) yeah I snagged most all my PNP's @ thrift store where ever I could find 'em for about that price *coughs (Hoarder) my only complaint with the unit is the button is on the wrong side of stick for Galaga , especially the bonus rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRTGAMER Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Since the audio is working, alludes that the PCB is fine. Very likely the video cable pinched or pulled. Should be an easy fix of soldering in a new two wire RCA cable to the PCB inside. Once you fix it, the stick has a "spinner" twist for Pole Position. EDIT In a real car when driving a stick, you have to release the gas pedal, push in the clutch and shift gears. Okay where am I going with this? I have a spare Ms Pacman PlugNPlay that had a bad fire button contact inside, the plastic broken. I combined both contact pads to the one remaining button. Two games were affected which added a change to the game play. Pole Position - Momentary release "gas pedal", then press again to upshift and downshift. Xevious - Both shoot and bomb are now single button. No big deal with unlimited ammo.

CRTGAMER Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Do you have component connection on TV? (yellow) or is it R-B-G ? In case you missed this, slipped by me as well. If HDTV shared component composite jacks, try plugging the yellow cable to the green jack. Use the remote to change to composite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacro017 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 yup did that too....will take it apart today and see what's going on inside....is anyone on here willing to try and get it to work if I ship it and pay for shipping back?Now it's just the principle of wanting to get it to work,nary the cost!!

CRTGAMER Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Its only two wire solder connection for a replacement RCA cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacro017 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 yup ....gonna try that today...hopefully will do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRTGAMER Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Can you post pictures of the PCB, maybe with old cable removed and new video cable soldered in? This would be a great reference for many PlugNPlay repairs; the cable usually damaged buried in a thrift store container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacro017 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) JAN 18 18 JAN 18 18(2) Here are pics of the open unit...ran a continuity test on audio and video.... all circuits came back ok-I'm at a loss Edited January 18, 2018 by Jacro017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRTGAMER Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Here are pics of the open unit...ran a continuity test on audio and video.... all circuits came back ok-I'm at a loss Thanks for the pictures. Concerning the video cord, did the meter show if the ground and middle wire connected to each other? Either way if you have an spare video cord, maybe try replacing it anyways? A simple solder job, you just might luck out and not too costly a try. I see where the video red and audio white connect to the PCB, appears the ground black shares a pad. Where is the connection that splices in the two ground wires? You have a phone number underneath, maybe delete the picture and retake? I hid your text in the picture below.

chas10e Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 board on one of mine is slightly different: but what I noticed , a bead of hot melt glue over the joints ( mine may not have been altered) you have an extra white wire from your video & looks like is bugger-soldered to other side of board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas10e Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 mebbe try & clean up them connections on the left side of the board (2 whites & red) looks like some work had been done to them looking again the red video wire on the right looks like there is a blob of solder bridging a component on the other side of board ( I am not sure if it's supposed to be that way or not, (perhaps it does) on mine I can see a trace that connects to something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
