Question
C_Mech
Hey everyone. I haven't been around the forum for a while now I know. Life got a little bit insane. Lots of moving around at the arcade, plenty of stuff to fix and I even took an improv comedy class at the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York City! (Where I'm taking more in the next month or so)
After all that, no surprise, there's still so much to do!
Currently I'm having an issue with a candy style crane game. Here's what happened:
I come into work and everyone tells me one of our cranes (Fantasy World) started smoking and smelled awful (the solder or trace melting)
Needless to say, I was a little surprised. Sure, this crane had its problems now and then, the claw not going down all the way or closing all the way, but it usually stopped and didn't happen again for a while. Nothing like this though.
So I take a look at the main board and there's a solid black burn from a relay going to a capacitor. I thought it might be the motors and after taking a look at them saw that they were grinding the gears so hard that metal shavings were covering the motors. I chalked that up to just being used so much for so long.
So, I replace one of the motors (the left/right) and the main board first and turn the machine on. It starts to burn. I smell it almost immediately and turn the game off as fast as I can.
After that, my boss and I tested the connection from the main board to the motors (Mainly the up/down) looking for a short. We didn't find one. Now the new main board has a burn down the trace from the relay. Its in the exact same place.
Then I replaced the up/down motor. Now when I start the game up it shows E1 on its display which is an up/down motor error.
Anyone encounter this sort of thing with the main board burning like this?
Thanks all!
