just joined the club. Criminally underrated and fits perfectly in my small collection. Jacked it up to around 7 incline and it's fast, fun and challenging.

Quoted from Adib:

Question for hobbit owners. How many models of hobbit machines are out there. I own a smaug edition. I know there's a blackarrow one. I recently heard that there's an le model. Is that true? Any other models outthere

You got them all except for the standard, which ironically I think there are the least of

Recently, my hobbit LE speakers haven't been sounding too good. A faint crackling. Any ideas?

So my hobbit small lcd isn't working. Did this once before during a mb but a power cycle fixed it. No such luck now. Happened again during mb. Connections appear to be solid. I did however see this connector. Not sure if normal or not.

Quoted from LTG:

Just an extra. Not part of your issue.
LTG : )

Any other troubleshooting ideas?

#9155 3 years ago

Update, I hooked up the vga out that would normally go to the small lcd to another monitor I had laying around and it worked so I am guessing it's the board for the small screen or small screen itself.

Unfortunately jjp is out of the kit...

#9227 3 years ago
Quoted from Sijcolo:

The kit comes with the screen and board. It was a very straight forward replacement.

I'm having an issue plugging the copper cable into the board. Suggestions

Quoted from LTG:

Smaug head move freely ? Tests in devices.
F drop target of the E L F bank go up and down okay, and register is Tests - Switches - Matrixed ?
LTG : )

I feel like an idiot. Once it was brought to my attention all my errors where on the same switch row, it had to be wiring.

I reversed the 2 of the connectors that needed to come off to remove the mech. Put them back the right way, all is well

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

My apologies for not reading the entire thread, but can someone summarize the most common issues with this game? I’m supposed to be going to look at one in a few hours with a friend and I’d like to be prepared.
Just a quick list of “check this”, “this is a known issue”, etc.
Thanks!

Check smaug head movement in tests
Check that all drop targets and beast mechanics work and aren't pinching wires
