I'd like to report back that after doing a complete capacitor replacement on the Makvision C2929D4GTS, the high voltage has returned and I now have a working image.
The missing blue colour was resolved by replacing R26 (100ohm), R27 (100ohm), Q10 (BF422) and Q21 (BF423) on the neck board...
Hi Ohmerone,
I ordered the capacitor kit for this chassis and I'm slowly working my way through it. Today I noticed something that probably explains why I was missing one of the primary colours. I can see R26, R27 and L8 are damaged on the neck board. I see the resistors are 100ohm and the...
I have not re-capped anything yet. I can order the cap kit for this board if you think it would help? I can see locations D14 and D15 on the schematic, but for some reason I still cannot see it on the actual board. The schematic shows they are right next to D16, but I don't see them in this...
Thanks for the reply. For the life of me, I cannot find D15. Is it accessible without removing the board? I can see D16, but I don't see D15 next to it anywhere.
No ticking
Yes the green LED on the board is lit
No heater glow
Do you know which location on the board the bridge rectifier is...
Hi all. I have a 29" Makvision/Wei-Ya chassis C2929D4GTS with a Thomson tube that currently has no power. It was working before we moved locations, but one of the primary colours stopped working after we moved it to another location. Then after a week or two, the monitor doesn't turn on at all...
Just to update this thread.
I bought a capacitor kit and replaced 39 caps + the filter cap and the issue seems to be resolved.
Thanks to everyone who helped!
I’ve owned the game for about 8 years and no service has been done on it since. The monitor is a 2004 Makvision so it’s not all that old. I haven’t put a lot of hours on it since being in my possession. Game has been in a heated and A/C environment the entire time of ownership. This problem has...
Sorry for the delay. I haven’t played the game much since my last reply.
A lot of what you wrote is a little bit above my head. I’m a super newbie when it comes to this kind of stuff. Is there any way you could elaborate on the recommendations above or jump on a chat message program or...
Hey Ohmerone, thanks for the reply.
I'm a rather novice person when it comes to the repair side of arcade. I only own one machine and I've never had to do anything on it before. I'm pretty savvy and know how to solder, but troubleshooting this issue is a whole new world for me.
So with that...
There's 3 revisions: 2.1, 4.0 and 4.1
I don't know much on the differences (I imagine most are bug fixes). I know the last version 4.1 is the one you would want for linking 2 Cruis'ns together.
The only thing I do know is in version 2.1, there is no Corn Pops advertisement billboard in Golden...
You could always buy a capture card and play through the preview window. I bought a cheap capture card from Deal Extreme and I thought there would be input lag, but surprisingly enough there wasn't.
I have this one...
Are you looking for just the wheel itself? The European design looks like the right one that fits Cruis'n USA's. Sometimes wheels go up on ebay but they are normally scarce or rather expensive...
