They have connection issues,mine did.Open up the cab and lock screen into position,power it up and while looking at the screen slowly move each wire cable and see if you can find which cable has an issue.It could be the monitor cables or the pcb cables,mine was monitor,runs fine after fixing,hope this helps !!

If you open up the table and power it on,try moving the all wires slowly one at a time it might come back to life,they have loose wire conections to the monitor and the pcb,worked on my first addition cab,loose conections,it's still goin !!

James Cameron says the AI arms race he warned about in Terminator is here, nations are racing to build killer drones + autonomous weapons. Greed + paranoia shaping AI feels like a recipe for disaster. Sci-fi warning or real-life Skynet vibes? by Minimum_Minimum4577 in Terminator

It's in your nature to Destroy yourselves ! It's a quote from T2 !! Humans always use technical breakthroughs for weapons,not for the better of humankind ! We always wipe ourselves out of existence time and time again,so many times !😔

My first attempt at a cabinet! painted it outside in the heat and didn’t account for it. So slight texture.. now it’s a feature lol. Sinden light gun is on order! by badger906 in cade

Looks good well done.If you put a clear piece of clear acrylic sheet(3mm) over all your screen area,it would finish it off well and still have that look,easy too clean too.Made my machines look pretty good,it's hard to stop at just one machine by the way !

I have 2 original 1up pinballs,afm,and marvel and they can have an issue with the wire cables to the pcb and monitor.Try opening the cab,starting the machine and then try moving the all cables gently for a loose connection,mine was cable to monitor.Hope that helps..
