Troubleshooting Touch Machines
Introduction
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.
This means that most common issues are actually PC issues:
- 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.
