wgu2000 question.
« on: September 06, 2009, 05:54:59 pm »
alright, i just got my wells gardner u2000 back from repair friday.

now for the bad news.

their was a power adapter that went from the monitor power connector to my jamma harness.

it got lost somehow.

so what ive done is cut the connector off my jamma harness, and soldered two pins onto the wires.

all i need to know is, looking from the back of the monitor, wich pin in the power connector is positive and wich is negative?

i havent been able to find any info on this.

It's AC.  There is no positive or negative.  The middle pin is earth ground.

And monitor POWER isn't part of the JAMMA harness anyways.

Thanks, Kevin. I realize this error. No, monitor power isnt part of jamma at all.

what ive got or had anyways was a 3 pin connector going from my power supply into an adapter and then into my monitor power supply connector.

I lost the adapter and have since gotten creative since i didnt have a nice plastic connector that would fit that i could click 3 pins into and then plug that into the monitor, I did have the right pins lying around though and cut the connector off of the cabinet and soldered three pins to the 3 wires and plugged them into my monitor one by one.

Problem solved.

thanks for your post though.

Just make sure those pins NEVER touch.
