I have a set of backlight panels for a 4 slot Neo Geo.

The Ones that backlight the mini-marquees.

$60 shipped Priority Mail.

Thanks

Ken

This one my friends is a crap shoot.

Found these in the bottom of my newly acquired 4 slot minus the inverter board.

All I can guess is the inverter board went out so the panels were removed to backlight the mini marquees with the fluorescent light in there.

All I can say about them is they don't appear to be damaged.

Thanks

The EL squares are most likely totally dead by now. But glowhut has great replacements. Thats what i used in my 4 slot marquee So even if the EL squares are dead this is still a good buy!
 
any chance they left the 8 pin connector that went to the MV-ELA PCB to the MVS PCB?

You have a pic of the harness? Im missing mine and im trying to create one.
 
@jjhudgins
The 8 pin harness you are looking for from ELA pcb to the main mvs pcb? I can get a picture but I wont be near my machine for several days.
 
Is it just two JST .098 connectors ? Just plug one on the pcb and the other on the ELA inverter?
As far as i remember yes. Again, this was 7 years ago since i last worked on it, and the machine isnt near me at the moment. :)
 
Here you are! This is the ELA pcb to main board jst connector:

Here is the connector coming from the main pcb:

So now, the missing Wires are for power and they come from another harness below. The red and black for power go down the side of the cabinet:

And then go across to connect to the circled small 2 pin molex extending from the harness here:20230614_233249.jpg
 
I wonder why it isn't powered from the pcb. I sourced a cable from France over the last week and replaced the panels with Glowhut Leds. A6 I think. But I haven't turned it on yet bc I wasn't sure if it would work. Let me finish it up and install It and I will post results. But to clarify, I have a 8 pin to 8 pin harness connected only to the PCB and Ela inverter. All 8 wires are connected on both ends.

Interesting....i believe my cab is the first version of the 4 slot. It is simply model number MVS-4. It doesnt have the black part of the cabinet under the control panel(see pic). It is possible they changed the design for your revision. Id have to check the manuals but this is how my cabinet was. The only thing I have replaced is the power supply with the direct suzo happ replacement (approx 8 years ago), and the glow hut panels.
