So I recently bought an Area 51 arcade game and was told that the gun was inoperable and the screen lighting should fix the issue. I verified this was not the case prior to purchase because the gun did not even light the screen.

Today I drilled out the last rusted/striped screw in the gun and what did I find a connector that had popped of the optical board. Reseated it and Bam, worked 100%.

Feeling encouraged I took a gun I bought non-working for parts and since the player 2 harness was already there opened the NW gun and found the same issue. Seated connector and installed the gun and you guessed it works 100%

Just a quick tip, remember these guns are constantly falling out of the poorly designed holsters.
 
Yup! Usually if you pull the trigger and nothing happens, that's a good thing, it means the plug is undone usually. If the screen flashes, then youv'e got calibration/brightness/gun optic issues, etc.
