Data East LAST MISSION:
No Vertical Deflection
By Data East Service Dept.
San Jose, califomia
Symptom: No vertical deflection.
Solution: Resolder connections on
rronitor PCB.
Data East's Service departnent has
received several calls regarding failure
of the Wells-Gardner 19K5603 rronitor
chassis used in the LAST MISSION upright.
'lbe IAST MISSION garnes that may be
affected are serial nurrbers 279800 to
280055.
The rronitor suffers from bad solder
connections on the Main PCB. 'Ibis causes
some corrp:>nents to crack their solder
connections and the rronitor may not
operate when the game is received. The
usual failure node is no vertical
deflection, just a horizontal line across
the center of the screen.
'lbe Nintendo part number for the complete
nodification kit is PCHU-12-16 and is
available through any authorized Nintendo
distributor.

Check and resolder the capacitor leads on
C313, and l0Ornf@ 160vdc electrolytic.
This capacitor is 2 inches tall and is
subject to vibration. Wells-Gardner
applies a silicon rubber adhesive around
the base of this corrp:>nent to prevent it
from rroving, however, sone of the
defective rronitor PCB.s did not have this
corrp:>und applied. Secure this capacitor
with glue if it has not been done.
Wells-Gardner will no longer be supplying
the 19K5603 chassis as they have developed
a new unit; the 19K7602 series.
All subsequent shiprrents of upright
cabinets from Data East USA, Inc. will be
using the new Wells-Gardner rronitor or the
Hantarex MIC900/E.
