Thanks for the pic. Been fiddling around with my XBox One in the cab to test the monitor. Not getting sound through HDMI and guessing it has something to do with the red/white cables just hanging out. How do you have your sound set up with the PC? Also - the plugging internal cable right into PC power supply hack was genius. Hope that is a universal solution for my Optiplex build.

I did something similar but with old parts I had... I dual modded a 360 fight pad with a chimp (ps3 + imp for switching boards). Had them wired to the respective connectors of the cabinet so if I want JVS, I unplug the two connectors and connect them straight to the back plate, if I want PC/360, I unplug and put them back in
The whole I used to pass the USB cable through was the last connector
if you're using the stock monitor, HDMI won't ass through audio as it is a DVI monitor, you will need some sort of HDMI audio extractor to output the audio into the Audio In on the STD connect PCB.
For PC Audio, I have a 3.5mm out from the pc to a stereo RCA that goes into the STD Connect PCB
Are you breaking that last connector with pliers to get it out of there, Julius? I guess I'm nervous to pop it off as I don't want to damage anything. What would go to that connector if it was left in there anyways? And noted on the 3.5 to RCA female splitter for PC. Tracking that down on Amazon now.I did something similar but with old parts I had... I dual modded a 360 fight pad with a chimp (ps3 + imp for switching boards).

Successfully got it out without breaking anything. Now for the next part - if I plan on going between 1p and 2p Brook/Bigbox setups, should I opt for two Zero Pi Brook boards and rig things separately or is there a Brook board out there that handles two player setups with ease? I'd prefer the one board that allows for 1p and 2p options as it would cut down on cable management. There is minimal info online/YT about two player Brook setups. What do you think?
It's an extra DC output connector. +5V, +12V and GND.
Hi guys, first post in this thread which seems to be the best resource for Noir owners on the web 
The led strip on the control panel on my Noir has almost all the LEDs dead.
Is there an easy way to replace the LEDs on the original board, or to connect a non-original led strip connecting it to the same power wire?
Thanks!

I bought these joints to replace the marquee and panel lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TSZ21DZ/Hi guys, first post in this thread which seems to be the best resource for Noir owners on the web

I like the dimming and pairing to 1 remote features (as I'll need 2 sets).
My Noirs are in storage atm so can't test to see if the OEM LEDs are 12v. They likely are but if not, easy enough to run an extension cord in the cab.
So you guys suggest I should buy a standard 24v led strip (eg. from Amazon)? And what kind of connector would I need in order to plug it in the noir control panel? I’m a total newbie with electric stuff and wiring so any help “for dummies” would be greatly appreciated
Lindy is 12V. It has a cold cathode fluorescent lamp.

The LED’s were mostly gone on my Red Noir, they are very tiny and I decided to not repair.
So what I did was buy some 24V led strip and stuck to the led panels.
Worked out fine but too bright so I added an inline dimmer switch.
As for the connector I didn’t reuse it, just soldered my new led strip to the led pcb.
Thanks for the tip! Could you please send some pics of the final result? Especially the “soldering” part where you connected the new led strip.
Thanks!
Does anyone know if anyone makes repro control panel overlays or if originals still available from Namco?
I just got two noirs and they've got the usual rust/crust on the edge of the control panel and the overlays are lifting.

Alberto makes them, I managed to get a new one from Wen at HKlegend but it may of been her last one.
I have two toppers, one (older?) more angled one that was on my red cabinet, and one (newer?) less angled one that was on my blue cabinet.
I'd trade the less angled one for a more angled one, since I have angled ceilings.
