Title: Stargate
Post by: epbrown1967 on June 26, 2016, 01:09:25 pm
Hello all!

Just picked up a Stargate machine-all good but fire button. I cleaned all leaf contacts, replaced fuses, nada! Any advice??

Well check the wiring connections and look at the board

Define nada. What is it doing? Monitor working? Neck glow? What signs of life do you have? Tell us more!

The game works fine, except for the fire button. It does not work at all. Thanks!

Are you sure you have a leaf switch? Are you sure when it's closed there is continuity? Are you sure it's making contact when the button is pressed? I would try shorting the two wires together to see if you can make it fire without the button.

Yes it is a leaf switch-shorted wires, no firing at all.
