Going to try and help a fellow pin guy out with his FH, this is the
info that he sent me:
"I shopped the machine about a year and half ago. Worked when I took
it apart then.... A weird ground short on one of my switches that
totally screwed up the switch matrix. I tried everything and finally I
tried swapping cpu boards. When I did I accidentally plugged the
display board backwards into the cpu. Now all I get is a loud buzzing
sound from the display. So I've blown the display board... perhaps the
cpu. I've been too busy to send the boards out for repair. Not sure
who to trust. I'm trying to find a local tech to trace down the ground
fault. If you are really feeling helpful you could bring up your
display and cpu and swap them with my machine to see which one I blew
up."
He is going to be coming to my neck of the woods (Tampa) and I
suggested that he bring both his boards and he can try them in my FH.
Is this a stupid idea? How much danger am I putting my game in? I was
going to try his display board on my game first.
