Title: Alpha 2 Pro curve monitor connections
Post by: dailey on August 06, 2020, 11:17:22 AM

I have a Bally curve monitor that I would like to install in my Alpha 2 Pro V22/22 but I would like to confirm the connections first. Circled in red are the connections I intend to make. Are they correct and is this complete ?



 -  The VGA port or the DP port on the monitor (either one) connects to the upper right display port of the MPU graphics card. (This is where my current lower monitor connects)
 -  The touch screen connector goes to the upper left com port of the MPU. (This is where my current monitor connects)
 -  The existing power harness for my current monitor will plug into the white 8-pin connector of the curve monitor.
 -  The USB to the USB port on the MPU.


 -  This leaves the white 5-pin harness connector. I'm guessing it's a power connector but I have no idea where it goes.

The one in question needs to go into the back plane to drive the 7 SEG LED numbers. I believe it says 7 SEG DISPLAY on the back. If you have worked on Alpha 1 mechanicals, its the same. I can get a picture later if you need one.

I'm not very familiar with Bally. I haven't done much work on them other than simple battery changes. A picture would be great. No hurry though. I need to buy a game that supports the curve monitor.


Thanks !!!

Charles,


Never mind the photo. I found the connector on the back plane.


Thanks
