16  Tech and Marketplace / I need help with my game! - Technical Discussion / Gyruss Keeps Resetting on: July 30, 2016, 03:46:58 pm
Pretty new to all this, but trying to learn as I go. Picked up a non-working Gyruss and long story short I have it working, sorta. When I connect the 12v from the card connector to the power supply I hear a clicking in the speakers and the power supply blinks.

When I disconnect the 12v wire the game plays fine (without sound). I reflowed and recapped the sound board. Tested the power. Everything looks good.

I can't figure this out with my limited experience. Help please! Lol

Maybe not a big to most in here, but I just picked up a beautiful Pole Position with my son. Brought it home and watched my kids play it for hours! I love this hobby  Cheesy

Looking for a working Gyruss soundboard. Will buy both if I have to, but really only need the soundboard.

Ok got the wiring sorted. Short answer: You can't bypass the marquee. Without the resistance of the light it is too much and  blows the fuse.

New to the hobby. I have a Ms. Pacman and Gyruss I am restoring. Hoping to network with people in my area so if you live in Louisiana give me a shout!
22  Tech and Marketplace / I need help with my game! - Technical Discussion / Gyruss Marquee Light Bypass on: July 07, 2016, 01:15:54 pm
Had to pull my marquee light and order a new one. I know I can get a cheap one from eBay, but I want to stay as original as possible.

The game won't play without a light. Does anyone know what wires in the 5 pin marquee harness would be used to bypass the marquee so the game can run?

23  Tech and Marketplace / I need help with my game! - Technical Discussion / Gyruss card connector and board - Help please! on: July 03, 2016, 10:45:30 pm
I picked a Gyruss cabinet that needs some TLC. Two pins on the card connector appear to be broken and at one time were soldered on the board.

On the pin-out it appears to be 17 (ground) and 18 (+5v).

I don't like the way they were soldered to the card edge and am not sure it can be cleaned for a new cars. I was wondering are  there test pins on the Gyruss board I could attach the wires to like on John's bullet proofing video on Pole Position?

Open to ideas.
