Most Touch Screen Arcade Machines brands tend to follow a similar hardware setup as they were based on touch screen monitors meant for DOS/Windows computers. This means at the core, a touch arcade machine is almost a regular old computer in a more rugged box.

  • CMOS battery being empty after 20 years.
  • BIOS setup after replacing CMOS battery.
  • Mechnical hard drive corruption.
  • Bad connections between motherboard, RAM or PCI/ISA slots.
  • Dead power supplies.
  • Etc.
