Hello there! I'm not here, and new to the world of repairing game machines. I started assisting a local arcade with their IT issues and - because there were no local game techs and I'm a mildly handy guy - I started fixing their games too. I've had success with most stuff, but there's still things that are over my head.
They have a set of Willy Wonka coin pusher games, and one of the screens is throwing up an error that it can't detect the IO board. Now, I'm hoping to receive further game tech training soon, but in the meantime I'm fixing what I can. Does this tend to be a straight-up replacement of said IO board? Might it be something else? If I need a new board, is this referring to the motherboard its self or is there another breakout board somewhere else I'm not thinking of? Where would I obtain a replacement?
Thanks for your help in advance!
