In Reply to: Hot Rod needs help!!! posted by Transparent on January 26, 2002 at 15:26:43:
If you are a skilled craftsman, call Hanaho and order a new encoder board, and any replacement buttons.
: Hello all, I hope you can help me with my problem.
: I had purchase a Hot Rod for my friend ( he bought it, it's his, yadda yadda, I just put it in my name ) anyhow...
: It "stopped functioning" under something that is not covered by the warranty. A stand was built for it, and my friend plays rather agressively so at his expesnive playing habits, dropped the Hot Rod and bent the connectors on the connection card all to screwyness. I took the Hot Rod ( SE ) apart and that is most definately ( lol ) the problem. Does anybody AT ALL know where I can get another one? Or purchase something to a similar price that will work the same? I contacted Hanaho just for chance. I'd like to get it back to working condtion, otherwise..
: I'd save it untill I get a cabinet then just salvage the controls and panel ( it's intact just fine )...then just take the top board of the hot rod and mount it to the arcade cab and wire it up. That's a last resort though. I don't really want to hold onto the thing, BUY and arcade cab, WIRE the thing up to the cabinet, INTERFACE a FAST ( $$ ) pc for emulators and the whole nonsense just to save an arcade authentic joystick that hooks up to your PC.
: Any help would be -very- much appreciated.
