Anyone have a DInoscores I can send my board to be test? Or anyone that works on them. My board might be good but I have no way of knowing. Going to mess with it a little more.
 
I found the company website. What was thowing me off is the game is made by Planet Earth which is now 5 Star Redemption. I sent them a email asking how much a board would cost and some other parts. Maybe they can fix my board if it is bad.

Thanks Steven
 
What leads you to believe that your board is bad? Have you checked for correct voltages on it? I don't know about Dinoscore but 5 Star's Raptor Captor uses two PC style power supplies to run the PCB and lights and such. Would be an easy fix if something like that is wrong.
 
I see a big silver thing which may be for lights. Also a black Power Supply which has a red light that comes on. Not that that means the volatages are good. It has two knobs aka terminal screws. One black and one red. It's in the back of the cabinet and hard to get too. No sound and the LED's do not light up. Could be a power problem but if I can check my board and have it verifed good (if it is) then I can narrow down the search. It doesn't have a regular looking power supply (Switchers) or I might just replace it and see what happens. The coin counter at the borrom does work. It may be that I just need to plug up the two wires to the Gun Sensor. I think I need a new Gun/Trigger sensor. Mine is broke.
 
Let's not forget that these companies are not cheap to send things to. They will surely "replace" your board and charge you alot of money.
 
I know :-( I have a friend who works for CEC as a tech I might be able to send the boards to him but I wouldn't want to mess up CEC's Dinoscore and get him in trouble and he was of from work due to back surgery. I gues I could look for a project one on ebay and have them just sent me the board, Trigger and Wire Harness. I wish the boards had a LCD that lit up if t had power to it and was working.
 
I called 5 Star Redemption today to get some prices on parts.

Gun Sensor 39 ( I might buy one of these)
Gun Harness 15 (Will be buying this)
Gun Amp 50 (May get this one I need to see where its located and if mine is bad.

Trigger 512 (not geting this will make do with mine)
Board 795 or 295 with a swap. (not getting this either but they will check my board for free)

If my board is bad I will look for one on ebay to rob parts off off. Has to be cheaper than 295.

I can't wait to get it up and running.
