neo geo service manual

[googlefest1]

i can not find much info on the net about trouble shooting and fixing neo geo mvs machines - i find many sites that have the operators manual but that document has no repair information

ive been trying to find a service manual for the machine -- does any one know if one exists? if it does, do you know if it is available on the internet?

I've never seen a manual to the extent of what you're describing.....pretty much it's a 2 or 3 page deal with the basic info. What's the problem you're having? In my experience, they are usually very reliable machines. If you are having board issues (Z80 errors, games not being recognized, etc.) take a #1 Phillips screwdriver, carck the carts open, clean the edge connectors really well, and you should be good. In 5 or 6 years I've had one bad cart, and I even got that to halfway work. Other than that, there's really not much to an MVS cabinet.
