INSTALLING THE BOARD IN A GAME IN UNKNOWN CONDITION WILL VOID THE GUARANTEE
STEP 1
Open the top head, with the key on the left hand side.
The wooden frame, that holds the backglass, swings to the right,
unveiling the displays.
STEP 2
Pull the handle and the wooden
panel holding displays and lamps
will swing to the right.
STEP 3
Locate the 3 boards already present in the head:
The main board (A1), the biggest one
●
The power supply board (A2), the smallest on the bottom
●
left corner, affixed to a metal bracket
The lamps & coils driver board (A3), on the bottom right
●
corner
The PI-1 board will replace the main board A1.
IMPORTANT PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE BOARD:
The pinball game must be turned off and unplugged from outlet before removing/installing any board
●
The electronic boards must be handled by their edges to reduce the risk of damage through static electricity
●
All displays must be in perfect working condition, all coils and their respective diodes must have been checked good
Pins of all connectors around boards A1 (CPU) A2 (power supply) and A3 (driver) must be clean and corrosion-free
STEP 4
On board A1, locate the 6 connectors
plugged on the sides.
Write down the way they are inserted,
then remove them following the
arrows below: pull on the plastic case
of the connector, and not on the
wires!
STEP 5
The board A1 is fastened to the head
by 6 nylon spacers, each equipped
with a little « clip » tip. With your
fingertips (or flat pliers), gently push
onto each « clip » then pull the board
towards you. Once the 6 « clips » are
released, the board can be easily
removed by pulling it by its edges.
Advice: remove the back-up battery in
the center, to avoid further leakage,
and recycle it with regular batteries.
STEP 6
Take the PI-1 board out of its antistatic
bag. Store this bag in a safe place, in
case the board should be returned for
maintenance!
The PI-1 board fits exactly in the old
board's space, but on the 3 bottom
right spacers.
The 2 topmost spacers and the one
on the bottom left corner are no longer
used (crossed out on the drawing).
