Bought broken *used* X-Arcade solo...easiest fix?

(1/2) > >>

csusjoe:
I just bought a used X-Arcade solo at a local game shop for $15 and brought it home to find it broken. Would it be easier to see if I could get X-Arcade to work with me to get it fixed or should I just take out the X-Arcade board and install an IPAC (and maybe some better, less-clicky buttons)?? Has anyone replaced the X-Arcade board before?  Is there anything I should know?

Looking forward to spending more time on these super-informative boards!

Thanks

Scott84:
Email X-Arcade and ask them to see if they can identify the issue... might be an easy fix, or it might be a hard one.

Teebor:

you will have to modify the wiring to work with the IPAC as the X-arcade has little white connectors on the end (or at least the couple I have seen do) which plug straight into the X-arcade board.

How can anyone help if there's no definition of "broken" ???

Doesn't matter. Chewing gum and duct tape will fix ANYTHING.

Just use that, and it will work...
