[hayabusa_fmw]

hey guys
i got a 1 slot neo geo cabinet

i put a new button , + new micro switch resoldered everything 4 times... still nothing.....

& when i go to the menu it says it's always pushed....... huh??

Sounds like you have the wire connected to the normally open contact instead of the normally closed.

Hook it up like this, i guess.  Also make sure the terminals aren't touching either.

[hayabusa_fmw]

still resoldered the thing exactly like player 2  nothing moves button B C D works.......
not A!!!!!!!!!1 grrrrrrrrrrr whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy;)

What happens if you disconnect the button completely?

[fjl]

If disconnected it should show up as not being pressed at all. If it does show that its still pressed then you have a short in the wiring leading up to the button. If you remove the wiring and it still shows as being pressed then either there is a short on your board like a small metal fell in it, bad solder or worst case the board itself is bad.

Here are some links to manuals and schematics incase you have to do a board repair.

thanks for the link


im still trying to figure this thing out.........

I feel weird about it cause i bought the cab only cause it had the mvs + 8 games with it........ & he told me it was 100% fonctional.....

for me a A button problem is like 20% fonctional

How can you play neo geo without A button it's the heart of the thing

I dusted the jamma harness + the pcb
see if it helps
i still get the same old problem...
.
Grrrr

Have you tried to contact the seller? I agree that it's not 100%, but should be fixable. Even if it's a short on the PCB it should be fixable, but finding it gets tougher. Disconnect the switch and go from there.

At least with Neo-Geo games you can play most from the 2-player side.
