I seem to have missed the boat a bit with this one, but I have just got hold of a JPM WWTBAM in one of the old proteus cabs.

 

Although I have got the dongle, disc and hard drive, the original slow PC (with 64 meg memory!)  is dead, whatever I try. Presumably a write-off? However, I have installed a new PC and the touch-screen works fine, now I have installed the correct driver.

 

However, just a few questions!

 

The Pentranic 20” monitor is playing up – very pink and sometimes it gets confused when it changes resolutions. Presumably needs a re-cap. Although I will have a go at repairing anything, I have always steered clear of CRT monitors.

 

Are the touch-screens removable at all, because I do have another working CRT monitor?

 

I would quite like to install a selection of old Quiz Machine games such as Monopoly, Bullseye etc. But all the old links referred to on here in the past for ITBox stuff seem to be broken. Is there anywhere I can go?

 

And, without the dongle (because I have read that the dongle doesn’t work in non-original PCs), are there copies of Weakest Link and Millionaire for this?

 

If anybody could help, that would be great, thanks!

Try recapping the motherboard, usually its the caps that fail preventing the processor from working.

 

the touch screens can be removed, but its a delicate time consuming task as it is very easy to rip the wires from the touchscreen! also the touchscreen is well bonded to the crt glass to stop dust getting in between, so its a careful operation to separate the 2!

Indeed it is, I've removed them before by cutting through the double sided sticky foam with a craft knife. Just have to take your time and be careful.

Hopefully your not wanting to turn it into one of these made by Tezcorp!
