Title: RESOLVED:All fans in my MAXX upright stopped working
Post by: Sammyboy1976 on July 18, 2018, 01:44:35 am
Earlier today I unhooked the motherboard tray from my MAXX upright to check monitor in another maxx upright and when I put the motherboard tray back in and wired everything back up megatouch boots and plays fine but none of my fans work anymore. Not my cup fan nor any of my cabinet fans. I have brand new fans so I replaced all fans with new ones and still nothing. I don't understand it. The cpu fan plugs directly into the harness and doesn't work but that same harness on a pig tail further down is running the hard drive so I know there is power going through. Im almost positive everything is hooked up and hooked up right. I've removed the motherboard tray several times before with no problem. But I'm only human so I very well may have hooked something up wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. Any thoughts, ideas or help would be much appreciated. I can repair almost any arcade machine but I am very new to megatouch but I'm a very fast learner.

You are just having problems from left to right. Maybe Megatouch machines are just not your cup of tea.

But i would guess a wiring issue. If not, then a PSU issue.

[/quote. Yes I'm up to my ears in megatouch problems. I own arcade machines and I fix them all myself. I just got this lot of megatouches and I have never had a megatouch before so I'm new to working on megatouches. Now the monitors ill never have a question about those that's for sure. Anything I own I learn to wrench on it from my bikes to my games. Please bear with me. I'm a fast learner. I promise once I learn ill help others too. Somebody has to pass it on lol. Thanks again Mahkeymike

Its got to be a wiring issue if they all worked before and not now.
1 fan dieing is possible the whole lot no.

The fans are probably all linked up in parallel,  Trace the wireing back to wherever it comes from and go from there.

Maybe a plug disconnected or something.

That's what I was thinking because the harness that goes to motherboard tray has alot of power connectors conning off and I noticed that some of the connectors were looped and plugged back into the harness. I should have take photos before I unhooked it. I know better. Im going to go check it out again. Thanks

Thanks @Titchgamer thanks that solved the problem. Cpu fan locked up on me. I replaced it and its fine. The cabinet fans stopped due to a short in the harness. I love this forum such good helpful ppl. Thanks all for your help
