Namco Noir advice

I tried to plug it in 230V just now with the transformer. It tripped the breaker.

So

Varistor
Ballast
Fan
Transformer

need to be either removed or replaced.
 
Hi, looking for some advice on an audio issue i have.

I recently imported 2 noir cabs. The blue HD-model.

On one of them the sound works perfectly just by plugging RCA cables from my PC to the RCA ports on the jvs board and adjusting the volume with the knob on the monitor control panel under card reader hatch. On The other cabinet though, with the same set up, I get no sound... where/how should I begin troubleshooting the issue? 😅

Thanks in advance.

Confirm that your 12V power supply is outputting 12V. The card reader and sound amp run off 12V so if neither are working that’s likely the problem. I had this issue on my Blanc as well, neither worked, made sense once I realized they both ran on 12V. The monitors run on 24V, NA-JV2 IO on 5V, Connect PCB on 5/12V.
 
I’m looking at one of these right now to purchase but something is throwing me off. The marquee has red lighting while the speakers are the blue grills. Is this a newer or older version?

I could be wrong but i recall the blue speaker model is the newer 1080p screen version.
 
Blue speaker model should come with a blue header though. So it could be monitor swapped.

Does the header have LEDs or a fluorescent tube? You should be able to tell from a picture as the tube has a more uniform glow.

The pics I've seen does not show it glowing at all. I could ask for more info. Here is the cab:

It's probably LED as it's controlled by the game, which would explain why it's not lit.

Looks like a new style Noir to me, the Gundam one. I have the same cab with a blue header.
 
Hello can this middle molex connector can be solder to the cn2 and cn4 as left in audio and ground and cn4 as right rin audio and ground?

I tried but couldn't find an answer. Does the namco io board support 2 players or do I need to swap in a sega io or something else? Note - I have a grigio so assuming it's a similar enough board to a noir to ask here.

I'm trying to wire up my 1p grigio to be 2p and run a ttx3. And I'm aware namco's jvs io has some issues as it is. Point me in the right direction plz

idk about that NAJV I/O if it has 2P support but the one that does is the NAJV(2)
 
I was also considering a way to bypass the namco io altogether. Using two gp2040 units, and plug those into the ttx USB ports and have the controls function like joy2key inputs for each player. Idk if it's a guaranteed workaround yet.
 
Just open up your control panel and see if there's a place to plug in P2 harnesses.

Edit: I had trouble with the ttx3 multi and linked Noir ios (it doesn't work). I put UFBs in my cabinets as an option. I never tried 2p on one IO.

Post in thread 'Namco Noir Teardown/Assembly Pics and Instructions'

I wired up some UFBs. I just popped the P2 connectors out and put in new ones wired to the brook harness. (I probably should have just made it plug inline with the P1 connectors instead, but I didn't feel like doing that many more crimps.) I wired Home to coin which I did make as an inline connection though. The stick and start are JST-SM connectors (I used these knockoffs from amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CTKD7P4) and the buttons are JST YL connectors. I'm debating making a replacement panel to go where the banana reader goes to add extra buttons, but I'm not sure if it's...

Does anyone have a spare tang for a Noir coin box?

Or if anyone has a picture of what it looks like?

TIA.
