CFM Gun problem

Hi,



Some time ago, the guns of my CFM stopped registering, both the detection and the triggers. As already suggested on this forum, the problem might be the gun PCB. I had a look but I don't see anything abnormal.

I think there is power, when I disconnect and reconnect the connector of the screen IR's, I see them lighting up briefly. I reseated all connectors but no change. The rest seems to work.



Does anybody have any suggestions about what to do next?





Thanks

I found this board on Ebay, although the components seem to have another lay out. Does anybody know if this would work as a replacement for my CFM gun board?

Should do, looks like a Lost World type, but providing it works, it should be ok.

i would double check that the gun cables are plugged in inside the guns-they do come out of the plugs quite regular unless you glue them or cable tie them

Thanks! Finally found the problem.

I had a bad connection in the guns, combined with a broken leg in one of the connectors which power the IR's around the screen.
