Title: G20-100-003 Megatouch 06/95
Post by: Porsch964 on December 28, 2015, 01:04:59 pm

Help - my megatouch ( Tournament edition) is having problems

Originally - it was flashing Start up Normal (blue screen)

I fixed the fan, it was filled with dust and debris - machine went back to normal operation.

After playing the game or games for 10 minutes - the issue of "monitor is normal" is reposting up again. :banghead:

Should i pull the board and re-seat each CHIP and do a better job of cleaning ?

The fan is now working and has no stopped. 

Thoughts of the next repair approach.   My friend thought it would be a hard drive , but i don't think this model has a hard drive.

I believe my edition is mostly firmware versus his later edition with a harddrive.

thanks for anyhelp.

You need to check your voltages. IIRC those megatouch used a PC style power supply and yours is now over 20 years old.

The power supply was exchanged with a more current one.

I'll verify the voltage to ensure its correct - thanks
