I've pretty much done every repair and upgrade to this machine over the last year. It's been running sweet. It's running in a public arcade that's open 4 days a week. Every now an then, I have to pull the shifter to re-solder a wire that's fallen off due to the abuse the stick gets.
A couple weeks ago, I saw the red alert dot on screen again, so I pulled the shifter, and 2 wires were broke off the "left/right" switches. I soldered them both back on, fired up the game, and the shifter still wont work. I went into the control test menu, and it's only recognizing 3rd and 4th gear. No matter the location up, it always thinks it's 3rd, and no matter the location down, it always thinks it's 4th.
I swapped out the Nytric card in the PC, thinking the control chip went bad, and same thing. So I eliminated the nytric as the issues.
I then tested all the micro switches at the connector, and they tested out fine.
Not sure where to look next. This should be an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure out what the prob is.
Game works fine other than the shifter defaulting off, due to it not recognizing all the gear inputs. So basically it's set to automatic all the time.
Any suggestions?
