Hello All
I recently bought a couple of 60-in-1 cocktail cabinets that have all the parts except for monitors.
Both cabs have a pc power cable input on the backs of the machines which have the power switch next to the input.
One machine has a PSU wired directly to the power switch and the other cab has a power strip wired to the power switch with a PSU then plugged into that.
I've decided to get LCD arcade monitors for each of these machines but for now I'm just using my PC's LCD monitor.
The trouble I'm having with the first machine is that I can't find a way to get the LCD monitor wired to the PSU as there is no place for the monitor to get plugged into normally.
Is there some sort of adapter that I could plug into a 4-pin molex on the PSU and then plug the other end directly into the pc power cable port of the monitor?
And the issue I'm having with the second cab (which will also affect the first cabinet), is that once the monitor is plugged in and the cabinet is powered on, I still have to press the power button on the monitor itself so it will display.
Is there anyway to get the monitor to switch itself on as soon as power is sent to it?
Or is that just a problem with PC monitors? And if so, will the LCD arcade monitors automatically turn themselves on once the power switch is turned on?
I'm new to this hobby and I live in Australia just so you know and I'm only just starting to learn about electronics now so it may take me a bit to understand some things haha.
I'd really appreciate any help you guys can give me.
Cheers
