Arcade Repair Tips - Troubleshooting Games With Sound Issues

[@howardmalone3]

you literately helped me diagnose my sound issue with the raiden II cab i got for 130 thank you

[@carlosfields9937]

Thanks for taking the time to share. Can you also do some close ups I got lost, I can't see what your doing..

[@MrJimbofox]

Wish you lived in my area bro. I'd have you take a look @ my TMNT cabinet which is getting no sound. I guess I can try just swapping the speaker out as that's something low cost and not overly complicated. How hard is it to wire a speaker?

[@utubepunk]

Thanks guys. Can we get some close-ups in the next video?

[@aggroordievideos]

do you have any walkthroughs on fixing ram issues?

[@bencheshire]

OK so this was really helpful but I have a further question: those white clips that form junctions in the wiring chain... How do I get the wire end out of those? Am I supposed to be able to do that? I think one of them is the wrong way around in my cabinet. The one with the set of four wires, for the speakers. I've tried the obvious: just pulling... Am I being too gentle? Should I use like plyers?

Always Helpful Thank You

So if that cabinet had two speakers in it, why didnt the sound still come out of the good one? Thanks!

I'm having a similar issue with my Arcade cabinet multi game machine. Is an Arcade game that I bought from China. It has 2100 in 1 PBC board. Anyway, I started having issues with the sound. At first it sounded like the speaker was starting to fail. It had a cracklyn noise, then it stop working all together. I contacted the manufacturer of my game, they told me that it might be the speaker, so they sent me two brand new speakers. I install one of the speakers, but I still have no sound. I noticed that when I plug my headphone jack to the sound jack on the board, I get sound, so the company rep told me that it couldn't be the board, since I was getting sound from the board's jack. So next, I replaced the speaker wires, to see if that was the cause, still no luck. I then tried to test the connectiviti on the Jamma harness pins, I can get beaping sound from it, although I am not an expert, I'm not sure if I tested the pins correctly. I resolder the wires to the sound pins on the Jamma harness, but I'm still having the same issue, at this point, I am stump, I don't no what else could be the problem? I even bought some brand new speakers and tried them as well, but the same problem, no sound. The funny thing is, that when I first tried the speaker that I bought, I had sound comimg from the games, but all of the sudden, it stop working. I should mention, that the speaker that I bought and installed at first, was a 50W speaker, meant to be use on cars, not arcade games. And the original speaker that came with my game, was a 5W speaker. I don't know if that makes any difference. Any ideas?

My speaker is bad …Is it ok to use a 500watt car audio speaker on my galaxian arcade game ?

[@arcaderepairtips]

Not sure if the audio amp on the PCB can drive that many watts. The manual states that the original speaker is a 6x9, 8Ω, 9W. Probably best to go with a replacement speaker that meets these specs from an arcade vendor. Here's a link to the speakers from one of our favorite vendors, Arcadeshop: bit.ly/as-speakers If you would like to hear more of our thoughts, we will be discussing your question on our Live Show Episode 69 which can be found at the following link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnmvf2yeoqmNmcU
