Can the image on a Nanao 2931 be flipped?

[Ziggy Cheetos Dust]

Is there a quick adjustment I can do on the chassis to flip them image? My Raiden Fighters 2 is upside down and I’m not sure that this particular PCB has a switch to rotate it.

pretty sure there is a cable you can move to flip image. check the manual

Dip SW1 reverses the image according to the manual, though I'm not sure if it's the direction you are asking for.
Otherwise on that chassis you can switch the yoke wires

Thanks for posting that @ekorz. I will have a look tomorrow. Maybe I’ll have to remove the monitor again?

if you are careful, you can just unplug the cable and plug it back in

 

[ekorz]

Yeah those yoke wires should be accessible on the chassis when the cab’s service panel is open. Uh, just don’t do it while the machine is on!

Raiden Fighters 2

Don't adjust your monitor... Just flip SW8 on DIP Bank 1 on the PCB and it will rotate the image 180 degrees.

Don't do what I said, do what @ekorz wrote below this post.

You’re thinking Raiden II.
Raiden fighters ii its just this switch. Unless it’s a bootleg I suppose

Thanks @djsheep, @ekorz & @imbord3rlin3. My PCB iteration is the SXX2F ver.1.2 which does not have switch.

Maybe I’ll just put the Mistercade in here and put the Raiden in my Exceleena when it arrives. Just need to sort out the monitor turning off issue first :-|

@Ziggy Cheetos Dust - did you try the service menu in case that hardware variant has the flip screen option in the menu instead of a manual switch? Hold down service for 5 seconds.

 

[Ziggy Cheetos Dust]

I did not, I will go and have a look now thanks @djsheep

Okay had a look but sadly there’s no picture at all now. I’ll need to do some more research on that. Thanks for the tips.

Hey if you’re feeling frisky all the switch does is ground this line on these smds. I have no idea what they do but if you have some you could try grounding or lifting the ground.. whichever it isn’t. You know for science!

Thanks! I’ll keep in mind as I work through the various things.

That version PCB still has the 3 pins populated for a switch, but it's just jumpered permanently, like in the picture attached.

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nkk-switches/SS12SBP4/1054726 Here's the exact replacement switch if you want to install one. Otherwise, your quick fix would be to remove the tiny wire link and move it over to the opposite pin.

Thanks so much @neSneSgB

 

[Ziggy Cheetos Dust]

Interesting. Mine doesn’t have any jumper. I tried the 5 sec test button press and nothing happened so I will try closing that circuit or getting the switch.

You sure it's not on the solder side? Did you check continuity with a meter?

It could be. It was still screwed to the board when I took the pic. I’ve had to travel for work now but will get stuck into it when I get home.
