Please help me with Taito Battle Gear 3 FFB - handle error -

Post by d123456 »

Any tips, pointers, even hearsay is welcome.

I have a Battle Gear 3 twin that I have painstakingly dismantled and am rebuilding in my attic at the moment.
One side was supposed to work when I bought it, but neither side works. I have heard that the Taito JVS boards are notorious for breaking. Is a broken JVS pcb the cause of the - handle error -?
I tried searching the net, but came up with absolutely nothing.

When I boot both sides, they both show an error:
- handle error -
According to the manual there are at least the following causes to check upon:
-Steering wheel cannot be identified.
-Fault of the steering motor
-Fault of the steering motor PC board
-Faulty connection of the connector

How do I troubleshoot?
I checked that the FFB board is getting power, 107 Volts.
The FFB has 2 ceramic fuses, but according to my multimeter, they're both still working.
It could also still be the JVS io, but, why on both sides?
Has anyone ever seen or heard about this error?

EDIT: changed the fuses (just in case. Yeah I know, useless)
I also changed the transformer to go from 230 to 100 volts instead of 220 to 100 volts.
Still the -handle error-.
Anybody knows where I can buy a new or used FFB board?

Handle error is most likely due to a faulty i/o pcb or any connection to and from that pcb.
That is from my personal experience.
If only someone in this universe can repair these pcb's
