Bought this sexy beast today, was working fine, transported home I know something is loose but very frustrating. The monitor is grey and powers up but no other lights and a buzzing from the power supply and an alarm ringing I think 7 beeps then off then back on again quickly. arrrggghhh

just spoke to the guy I bought it off he says the same, never doubted him anyway he says the same. going to spend tomorrow unplugging every wire and reinserting

[captainhaddock]

It could be the program card on the mpu4 video board is loose - remove it and re-insert - also check the smaller one that goes into the mpu4 program card slot.

Took out the program card and reinserted, closed up the 7 seg light display lit up, now however I kept it unplugged as when door is closed there is a crackling noise coming from the base in the power supply area,.

[captainhaddock]

the fuses on the power supply can pop up with vibration and make intermittent contact - they just push in and twist - theres also a power in (kettle plug style) on the psu tucked away inside that area that may be worth checking out.

Thank you captain haddock I will look at it tomorrow, been offered to return if not working going to do everything I can to get it back I have checked the kettle on the psu and made sure that's fully connected, are the fuses easy to get at as the power supply is a right pain to manoevure

I have one of these, check all fuses are locked in they like to come loose and even fly out in transit.

Basically just check everything above.

 

just beat me captain

cheers both of you, i don't know much about these and would have never thought to check the fuses had popped out as the buzzing would have made me think that there is power, but thanks guys

[richy1976]

Value on these will go up soon, they go for about £250 in good nick.

Yours is a rebuild kit in the smaller cab.

[carlosgee]

wow, I paid £100 for mine,  i just hope it can be got working again

[richy1976]

I paid £100 as well, seen one go on ebay for 255 the other day.

[carlosgee]

now i hear buzzing which is good as i know there is some power coming through and it sounds like clicking in the base area, i have checked all the fuses they are ok

[carlosgee]

thank you will look tomorrow as done 300 mile journey round trip to collect

[carlosgee]

On further inspection the clicking still there, however, the buzzing is coming from the speaker area

[fuzion]

I've had this grey screen with noise any times, Make sure you check both the mpu4 program module and the video game module are both fitted correctly, this is usually the culprit.

Will upload a video later the black casing is movable and not fully fixed. Hopefully the video will help you tell me what bita to do as out of my league.

[carlosgee]

is video 1 door open

 

is video 2 door closed, you can see the monitor grey so thats working fine, you can hear at :15 and :16 the cracking noise

Give £50 for mine from a member off here a few years ago and still got it but the transformer went a few weeks back.

 

Mine is tucked in a little room with Kung Fu so cant get in the back of it as need a part number for a man I know who has fixed T.Vs for the last 30 years.

 

sounds a bit cheeky but as your in the back of yours, can you see if you can see the part number on the Transformer for the monitor?

Did you try this machine before you took it away?
