Area 51 Site 4
Question from Todd: I have an Area 51 Site 4 game that does not register shots fired by the player 2 gun in the lower right quadrant of the screen. This is after calibrating the guns. The same game sometimes re-boots during play. Thanks, Todd

Response from Jonathan: Todd,
Sounds like you might be having some power supply issues. Make sure that the voltage getting to your boards (and your guns) from the power supply is correct. Check out our post on Checking And Replacing A Power Supply for more information. If you have a computer/ATX style power supply, you may need to check the power at a connector instead of the screw contacts (like we show in the video). In this case, the red wire is typically your +5 VDC, the yellow wire is typically your +12 VDC and the black wires are your ground. Make sure you adjust the power supply up/down as needed. Keep in mind that if you cannot get the +5 and +12 both in range (typically within a tenth of a volt) then you may need to replace the power supply. Make sure you also check out our post on Troubleshooting Light Gun Issues as it gives you some great tips on how to get your light guns working properly.
Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
