You probably have those inputs shorted in your arcade wiring.

That or you have the wires hooked to the Normally Closed (NC) and common (COM) tabs on the microswitch instead of the Normally Open (NO) and COM tabs.

Thank you.   :cheers:

ground cable was on ( NO) and and 2nd cable was on (com)

Looks like you were using part of my "backward" wiring trick.

More on a similar, but larger-scale related wiring technique soon. . . . Right, Jon?   ;D

Are you sure you want to get rid of the monitor?

Instead of a laptop, you can use a cheap PC to get it up and running.

BTW, the thread offering the monitor for trade should be in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum.
