Namco system N2 failing to boot.

[antonioad14(TWON)]

Ahhhhhh - ok, yeah - that is pretty slight - you won't even notice it in the game!

And yeah - the Chihiro is a little tight, but mine fit!!! Is your cab setup so its all in the back (under the monitor) or is it under the seat? Mine is under the monitor, in the back.

Yeah, the issue isn't that severe. My friend didn't even notice it until I pointed it out and he thought I was being dramatic. But I'm more concerned if it progresses into something worse that will be more noticable. Also yeah my Maxi 3 cab has the hardware under the monitor in the back.

ok - then I think it will fit - like I said, it's a bit tight, but fits!

Do you still have the metal plate at the bottom where the N2 is supposed to sit? Would probably make alot more room if it was removed.

The chihiro of Wangan 2 also came with plates, with rubbers for vibration.

I didn't have any of those at all.... so just sat on the bottom on the wood

Yeah, if it was still tight for you then I'm more then likely gonna need to remove them.

Finally got the card reader, just gotta figure out how to wire this thing up.

 

[mathewbeall]

Power and serial connection!

 

[antonioad14(TWON)]

Also got 2 Namco N2 motherboards in, so gonna see if replacing those will get both my N2's back up and running. I currently don't have any thermal paste ATM so I'm thinking about waiting on doing that till later in the week when I get some.

Power and serial connection!

I remember you saying it takes different voltage, will I need to get new wires?

 

[antonioad14(TWON)]

Also got the Chihiro, but only half of it. Seller said he ships it in two in order to prevent damage, The other half should be here hopefully soon.

can you post some pictures of the back and side? If I am remembering right - it needs the 20v the cabinet provides, but it also needs 5volts, along with the serial connection.

 

[antonioad14(TWON)]

So I swapped out one of the motherboards with one of the newer ones I got and unfortunately no luck yet. Just a black screen, doesn't show no signal this time so I guess that's a step up. But not even the USB's are flashing either. I guess this Motherboard I got was faulty? Luckily I still have another one, but I'm probably not gonna bother switching it out tonight since I gotta go to bed early tonight.

Sure here you go

 

[mathewbeall]

Well darn it - I can't find my WMMT2 manual - I will get it this weekend pull out the wiring diagram.

Very much appreciate your help

 

[antonioad14(TWON)]

Just got the other half of the Chihiro and looks like those 3 caps are gonna need replacing

 

[Mrhide]

yup.

 

[antonioad14(TWON)]

Gonna test it out and see if it works first, it should be. The seller sent me a video of it working.

 

[mathewbeall]

Yes - just as a note - those caps are connected to a hefty ground plane - so it takes a decent amount of heat to get them out of there.... outside of that - pretty easy to replace.
