Does anyone repair arcade machines?

17 December 2008 - 04:42 PM

I was wondering as they are found in arcades together and the fact that there is so much knowledge on this board wether anyone here repairs actual arcade machines?

If not, I apologise for posting here, please remove the thread if required.

If so, I have an original rampage machine that has lost sound and needs a new screen due to screenburn. And a clone jamma cab that needs a new screen or the screen fixing as it starts jumpling after 20 mins or so. Both located nr Ellesmere Port.

Thanks

Gamebox Backing Up Question

12 December 2008 - 03:01 PM

I have a gamebox which was purchased off Ebay. Apart from being really badly put together on the inside (screws missing, PSU not fastened down, speakers loose etc!!) its been working fine for over a year.

It started to give a windows protection fault on every other reboot, then would do a system restore and be ok until the next reboot. I replaced the SDRAM and all is now fine again.

The HDD has starting to make some pretty hefty clunk noises and so I am thinking of backing up to another HDD is this possible?

The HDD contains 3 partitions, Drive C: has image32 and an Image file.
Drive D: contains lots of GAME folders and Drive E: contains Windows and loader.

Before I take everything apart, should it just be a case of cloning the 3 partitions to a new drive? Or is there more to it?

Thanks in advance
