| non-working Congo Bongo |
| (1/3) > >> |
| Dougmeister:
Friend of mine who runs a summer camp got a donated "Congo Bongo" that is not working but was supposed to be. Probably just a loose wire somewhere. I know just enough to be dangerous. Can anyone give me a few ideas to look for right off the bat, or even to have them look at? Thanks. |
| SirPeale:
Depends on the level of 'not working.' Does absolutely nothing? Check fuses first. Turns on, garbled graphics? Board problems. Plays blind? Monitor issues. |
| Thenasty:
the best and easy fix is "Is it plug in" ;D |
| Dougmeister:
Yes, it is "plug in" :) Here's what they did: 1) Inside the door in the front there's a button 2) Push the button, fluorescent light comes on (marquee, I assume) 3) screen "comes on", but no picture 4) no sound I can ask them more pointed questions if you think they'll help. Again, it was supposedly working before he transported to the camp, and I trust the guy he got it from. |
| SirPeale:
The button they pushed is an interlock switch (if I had to guess). And it either needs to be pushed in (when the cabinet is shut) or pulled out (when it's being worked on) Look for loose connections. |
