1.The audio buzzer that generates 1 kHz beeps is on the computer, inside the VGM (video game machine). If hearing beep codes is difficult, remove the cabinet doors and computer cover.
2.Arcade Computer circuit boards resemble those in personal computers. Yet Midway engineers reprogrammed the boards for application to this VGM.
3.Wiring or peripheral circuit problems may not trigger
4.Call your authorized distributor for help with unresolved error messages.
NOTICE: Don’t attempt to move computer circuit boards into alternate slots. Midway assigned boards to specific slots. The custom operating system won’t recognize improperly placed boards, even though they function normally.
