SYMPTOMS
1.1
Date: November 19, 1997
Game has to be recalibrated ev-
ery morning, touch screen goes
out of calibratin for no apparent
reason, cannot get the whoe
screen to calibrate properly.
CAUSE
There has been a rash of prob-
lems with the touch screens and
we have identified the problem.
Most of the faulty screens were
confined to a batch that had a
degenerating contact problem,
which took several days/weeks to
expose itself, but once exposed
the game would go out of cali-
bration and not be able to be
recalibrated.
Plus, some had problems with the
screen going out of calibration.
If the cable between the screen
and the controller was "wiggled"
the game could be recalibrated.
SoumoN
A Touch screen replacement kit
can be ordered for any custom-
ers that are experiencing these
symptoms.
Please contact your distributor's
service department if you require
this kit. The part number is A-
04-10692-2.
