What service center did you send it to? Japan I’m waiting for a response back from them. Have you ever got an error code 36? Trying to figure this out. I’m glad your turnaround was quick. Was it pricey to ship back and forth. Thanks Joey
Japan yes, I think that was the error I got wrong in the end it went from taking longer to boot up to that error I’m sure.
Boots really fast now.
UPS was £48 going and only took a few of days to get there, but pricier coming back as it’s their choice lol prob more like £100.

Thanks for the info it does take longer to boot up. I live in the states so I’m wondering if they have a service center locally.

I’m sure some people have been asked to send their systems to the states so you may be lucky.

This really makes me feel left out!

Aka & Blue too, and the impending Demon Front.

I’m pretty close :fastlove:

Love the thought the exA but it's so out of my price range. Guess they'll become more affordable in time 🤞

I’ve been hovering over the buy button. I might wait for one of you to get it first and see.

You know what would be nice? If exA would produce art for NAMCO cabs. Everyone has a Vewlix, but I have Noirs and I can’t use any of the art that comes with the kits. My exA-dedicated cab doesn’t have much appeal adorned in Tekken 7 art with Akai Katana blasting out. Not that my children or friends even care to critique it, but still.

The obis in every kit are designed to fit in the obi space for all major LCD cab models (ARC-32, Vewlix, Noir, blanc, Lindbergh).

The A3 instructions sheet can fit in the top header space on all cabinets but won’t fill out the big space on a Noir, Lindbergh or APM3.

The majority of exAs at locations in Japan are operated in Vewlix or APM3.

I just wanted to clarify the stance on acquiring used items in regard to updates and servicing.

I have read about proxy purchases in Japan, which is fully understandable; but if I were to come into ownership of something from the original owner who purchased directly from exA, would that item still be eligible for support whether free or paid?

I gather that this isn’t directly supporting exA, in which case I wouldn’t expect anything for free. Within this thread there are mentions of second users and eligibility with varying results. It seems like it could be a grey area, and I’d like to know where I stand. In this particular case, the item is out of stock to buy new, so the only way to acquire it is to buy it on the used market.

In general, used products are supported if they haven’t been tampered with. It’s best to check with support before you purchase a used item.

I just had a great experience with exA Support and my items were bought 2nd hand from a collector. I submitted serial numbers before I bought my stuff and they responded quickly. They updated and fixed my stuff and turnaround was super fast with great communication. Thank you Shou and Company. I’m loving my exA motherboard and Dodonpachi Sdoj. I’m just trying to figure out what to buy next there’s to many great choices.
