Power Supply Removal

Turn off and unplug the game.

If your game is NOT an eVo, skip to Step 5.

Unlock and open the cash tower section.

In the cash tower section disconnect the

4-pin connector from the LED board (see

Figure 1) and carefully route the wires

back through the access hole below the

motherboard (see Figure 2). It may be

easier to open the CPU section while

doing this, but make sure to support the

CPU section as the game will become

top-heavy when both sections are open.

Close and lock the cash tower section.

Unlock and open the CPU section.

OVERVIEW: Replacing the Power Supply consists of disconnecting all wires connected to the

power supply, removing the old power supply, installing the new power supply, adding 2 new

harnesses to this power supply, then refastening all of the connections in the unit. The following

sections will walk you through both the removal of the old power supply and the installation of the

new power supply:

Unplug the IEC connector from the power

supply (see Figure 2).

Disconnect the 4-pin power connector

from the hard drive (see Figure 2) and

follow this wire to the 2 different 2-pin con-

nectors, which are connected to the fans.

Disconnect these two connectors.

Disconnect the 4-pin LCD power connec-

tor (see Figure 3), then remove the wires

from the cable clamp located near the

hinge on the bottom right.

Remove the 2 screws on the right side of

the motherboard (see Figure 2) and care-

fully pull the right side of the motherboard

forward while sliding it out from under the

clips on the left side of the board.

10. Disconnect the 4-pin centronics power

connector (see Figure 3).

12. Disconnect the I/O board power connec-

tor from J6 on the I/O board (see Figure

4).

13. Remove the standoff securing the twist

clamp in the upper right corner of the

game, then undo and remove the clamp

(see Figure 5).

14. Remove the 2 screws fastening the power

supply mounting bracket to the game (see

Figure 5) and remove the power supply.

Power Supply Installation

NOTE: The replacement power supply may

be slightly smaller in size than the power sup-

ply that was in your unit. Because of this, ad-

ditional foam tape may need to be added to

the power supply mounting bracket. If there is

already a double layer of foam tape on the

bracket, you do not need to install additional

tape. If there is only a single layer of tape,

and the new power supply isn’t seated cor-

rectly, follow the guide in Figure 6 below to

properly install the provided tape on top of

the existing tape.

PROVIDED

FOAM TAPE

EXISTING

FOAM TAPE

Install the new power supply by placing it

in the unit and securing it with the screws

and bracket that held the old power sup-

ply (see Figure 5). Be sure that the power

supply is installed with the IEC connector

on the top-left.

Replace the twist clamp around the larger

set of wires that will run to the

motherboard and I/O board, then reinstall

the standoff (see Figure 5).

Attach the 20-pin connector on the pro-

vided DC jumper cable (EC0355) to the

20-pin mating connector coming from the

power supply (see Figure 7).

Continue connecting the DC jumper cable as

shown in Figure 7. For more detail, follow the

steps below:

•

Connect the 20-pin power supply connec-

tor to the motherboard (see Figure 4).

•

Connect the appropriate 4-pin connector

to the centronics power connector (see

Figure 3).

•

Connect the mating 4-pin connector to

J6 on the I/O board (see Figure 4).

•

Reconnect the hard drive power connec-

tor (see Figure 2) using the appropriate

4-pin connector.

•

FOR eVo ONLY: Locate 4-pin connector

on the DC jumper cable that connects with

the LED board and route this down to-

ward the access hole below the

motherboard (see Figure 2).

Replace the motherboard by sliding it

under the clamps on the left side of the

game, then lining up the two screw holes

on the right side of the board with the two

standoffs in the game. Replace the 2

screws that fasten the board to the game

(see Figure 2). Make sure no wires are

pinched after the motherboard is in place,

and make certain that the remaining 4-pin

connector coming from the new power

supply is visible and accessible.

Connect the 4-pin mating connector on

the provided touchscreen & LCD power

cable (SB0538) to the remaining 4-pin

connector coming from the new power

supply (refer to Figure 8).

Continue connecting the touchscreen & LCD

power cable as shown in Figure 8. For more

detail follow the steps below:

•

Connect the mating 2-pin connector to

the upper fan, which is located next to the

power supply.

•

Connect the mating 2-pin connector to the

lower fan.

•

Connect the mating 4-pin connector to the

LCD power connector (see Figure 3).

Reconnect the IEC connector to the

power supply (see Figure 2).

Tie wrap any cables as necessary.

If your system is NOT an eVo, you have

completed the power supply replacement.

Close and lock the CPU section, making

sure no wires interfere when the bezel is

closed. If your system IS an eVo, go on

to Step 9.

eVo Only

Unlock and open the cash tower section

(be sure to support the CPU section while

doing so), then route the LED power con-

nector through the access hole below the

motherboard (see Figure 2). Close and

lock the CPU section. Make sure no wires

interfere when the bezel is closed.

10. Connect the power connector to the LED

board, which is located on the back of

the CPU section (see Figure 1).

11.

Close and lock the cash tower.
