I double checked, and it was $38; confused it with another order I made the same day that came express, and mistakenly thought it came to $115 not $105., So over 50%, but not as close to 100% as I was thinking. My mistake; apologies.

Shipped from Denmark (the shipping nearly doubled the price, but aside from customs hold up it arrived fast). And it's just one guy who posted it on the FB Noir group; no clue if he plans to repro anything else. I'm usually reluctant to buy from unvetted sources, having been ripped off by even...

And while I'm here, just going to throw out a thank you to the community as a whole. Getting into this hobby can be pretty daunting with everybody using tech jargon that can be daunting/confusing to those inexperienced, but without helpful and knowledgeable people like you all I probably would...

For those looking for control panel LED replacements, I recently purchased/installed this and can vouch as a satisfied customer. https://6ff8b8.myshopify.com/products/namco-noir-led-panel?fbclid=IwAR1aXGf79Z6miza6xBd7-C_Fpm43puHTuechg-4rUT8r3IiGM75SPopgLgE Just be aware that under the old LED...

@srtten May I ask where you ordered it from and how much it cost? I'd read about people swapping out the monitor, but wasn't aware you could still get replacement originals.

Haven't had much time to put into it yet, or tested the coin acceptor, but a peremptory test run just to check out the Noir proved the JVS-PAC2 works like a charm, right out of the box. Thanks for providing an excellent product!

Thanks. Stupid as I feel learning all this, it's good to know I got something right, haha :D I have plenty of type A USBs around the house, so if 2.0/3.0 doesn't matter, that's no problem. As for micro-USB, do you have any suggestions? After searching Amazon, almost all of them, except this...

Arrived today. Even with the holdup, that was good time for an international delivery (When I order something from Japan, I swear they actually swim it across). Can't test yet because the Noir isn't scheduled till Thursday. This is another question that will be common sense once I can actually...

That's reassuring. The Noir's running late too, anyway. I've read that "GRACE-HOLLOGNE BE" has been a terrible chokepoint for FedEx all year; lot of people bitching about "operational delay"s that last months. Evidently because of the war, and having to further sort out anything to or from...

How long did yours take to arrive after ordering? Initially FedEx said I'd get it today, which was much faster than anticipated, but then they gave me an "operational delay" update, and now tracking says that expected delivery is "pending." I looked up "operational delay" and most people say...

Thanks for the reassurance--that's exactly what I had in mind. Plan to set BIOS so the computer boots when I turn on the Noir, and set it to boot straight into a frontend, so the only semblance of a windows PC will be if I open it up for maintenance. Thanks to everyone for the help in trying...

That's what I had in mind, just wasn't sure if it would work (and am pretty shitty at communicating when I didn't know the name for the cables, or... well, anything, haha) The alternative I considered was just running the PC's power cord out the bottom hatch to plug in alongside the cabinet...

Thanks. I know things'll be easier to figure out on my own once I can poke around inside the thing. (there really isn't enough information online about these damn things, and what does exist assumes some degree of basic pre-existing knowledge of the subject in general) Looking at pics of PCBs...

Thought of a few more stupid questions. Keep in mind I don't know jack shit about electronics beyond, "Don't make toast in the bath tub." So best to sort this out before it arrives. How long is the power cord? Is it safe to plug the Noir into an extension cord surge protector? Can I power...

Oh, hah, I didn't see that. Sorry. (and thank God!) Thanks for still taking the time to reply while on vacation. Hope it's going well.
