Hello!
Weird issue - I have a Sega Blast City and it all works fine, however if you apply a little bit of pressure to the control panel (downwards pressure) it can cause the cab to reset or power off completely.
I can't see any loose connections causing this seems v weird? Anyone got any ideas what to check?
Thanks
Jon

Have you disabled the door switch?

It’s not disabled but the door over it locks up fine; also sometimes if I swing open the CP, the power stays off until I close it again.SuperPang wrote:Have you disabled the door switch?

It might be worth putting a cable tie around the switch to rule that out.

Do disable the switch. mine was "fine" but could be momentarily triggered by accidently bashing the door, coin door or foot plate. most annoying to reset mid game. Zip tied it up nnd not had an issue since. Also check the cables running in to the BACK of the switch. check nothing is bent or fouling so that when pressure is applied a wire loosens or soemething.
