I have an AB deluxe cabinet and this "power box" (not sure the actual name for this part) is not supplying enough power to the game.

It starts up and quickly shuts off. Either its bad or something else is loose. Sometimes it stays on longer than other times. Sometimes the audio is crumbly. Sometimes only the side to side seat motion works with the game. It rarely does it all and for more than a minute.

Anyone know if this box is my problem? I switched the box with different Happ one and the game stayed on but the chair didn't move. Someone said it didn't have enough voltage.

Do I have the 5v wires on wrong on the Happ one?

Anyone?

Hey Keith, I will see if I can dig out the manual after work today, in less some one else finds it first. I do know after mine sits for a while that I have to help the side to side out, on the start up but after that it works. You know that the floor has a sensor pad in it for safety (had to rebuild mine) that might not be working, and the electric motors do take oil. So those are some things to look at.
 
Well mine actually shuts off. The light on the game board goes out. So I feel like it has to do with something with distributing power to everything evenly. Sometimes only certain things work.

Do you know the name of that box in my pictures?
 
It's called a power supply. I hope you checked the +5v before powering up the game with it.

I have no idea what voltages the motors require. Check if they are getting any power.
 
Wires:

Yellow= +5v

White= ground

Red= AC

Black AC

I checked mine, game board LED should remain lit. When powered up after a few second delay the seat should move side to side, then back and forth. If it doesn't move, look at the monitor to see if the seat direction test is displayed. If not and no lit LED, then you need to meter the 5v.

Motors run off of 80 volts. Meaning the switcher power supply is only for the logic.
There are two breakers for the motors in the back.
You might want to check the wiring for the motors, sometime the operators would disable the motors because motion games fail more often than no moving ones.

If you can track down fatherpain, He went through the trouble of rebuilding his. He might be able to tell you more about it.

If you do not own a digital mutli meter, I suggest you buy one, it will help you in tracking down simple issues with your game.

The seat does both direction checks and starts up. Sometimes I can play it for a second but it always shuts off pretty quick. Sometime it doesn't move on the Up Down check but the screen still says OK. And sometimes the audio sounds quiet and crumbly and sometimes loud and clear. Gotta get a multi meter and figure out how to use it.

The seat does move but i'll check back there anyway to see if something is loose.
