Quoted from applejuice:Just replace all microswitch rollover switches. wpc-95 and pin2k cherry switches don't last. They were crap quality
Weird, but my two RFM i own(ed) also both had bad top lane switches.
Haven't they used Cherry DA3C microswitches like most of the WPC era games?
Quoted from johnstewart:giulio thank you. I'm looking around now... but all of the Dell 2007 FP's I can find say they are TFT, not IPS.
You say serial # to look for to end in an S? I'm not sure how one would do that... the listings don't show serial.
I went ahead and ordered one of the TFT ones for $45 with shipping; I figure this form factor is good to have around anyway (I think this is the same monitor I used one one of my arcade cabinets).
This one here is a perfect drop in replacement, no need for converter as it will display the signal of the Pin2000 PC directly.

I did buy a used one for 80USD here in Europe.

Quoted from WhiskeyTango:Whoa.. this worked on original hardware without a sync adapter or CGA converter?
Exactly, also it fits right into place...perfect dimensions!
Quoted from mattosborn:Weird that it would sync down to CGA... the specs don't claim that. It is on this list though: http://15khz.wikidot.com/
I have it installed in my RFM and it does work!
Quoted from Tjohejsan:Yes first i just change the chassis board to see if thats whats broken.
Is it broken i let someone who know fix it.
So i might end up with a spare to.
If it is the Ducksan Chassis, then most probably it is a bad flyback (which is unobtainium) -> means beyond a repair or fix.
The Dell 24" LCD (U2410) i put in mine (bought it without CRT inside) is a direct swap without the need of converter etc.
Quoted from Tjohejsan:So no need for sync adapter or
Cga-vga?
Just plug in the vga cable direct to the computer?
Exactly! It is able to display the native Pin2000 VGA resolution - i just did enable 4:3 aspect ratio on the Dell and it fits also perfect inside the head box.
Quoted from Tjohejsan:Would you like to take a picture and show
Just a few old ones:

I thought my monitor was broken, but when switching to another monitor same no working screen.
I have power to the chassis, power to lamp and playfield all works.
Could it be the psu in the computer anyway?
Or what could be the issue here?
If the computer doesn't start you will not get up to starting a game with lamps and pf working.
Also you should be able to hear if the fans (CPU & PSU) are whirring.
A comon problem are the 5 electrolitic caps on the motherboard drying out, had three Pin2000 in the past and two of them had this exact problem.
If this happens the PC will not start at all.
Nice find 
mandrade1 - i also did note that the "Extra Ball" Insert not gets lit in some of the light animations (in 2.1 and 2.2 too).
Maybe applejuice can take a look at this in the next revision.
I did note that the "Extra Ball" insert not gets lit in some of the light animations when the game is not in play mode (in 2.1 and 2.2 too).
Is this a general problem or only with mine?
Also another user did mention that the lights (animation) are faster in the demo (non) play mode.
Would also great to fix this in the next release if it is a general problem.
Quoted from applejuice:These are not ‘problems’ . For example the attract mode lamp show is faster by design like modern games just like adding the searchlight lamp show is a new addition
Well these are not "real" problems, but a lamp staying dark in attract mode sure is not how it should look.
And with the "older" versions it was working as it should.
Quoted from Zitt:Normal Operation.
You always have to hit double flippers to release the ball. It's programed that way in purpose
Is it really purposed to work like this?
Mine does too, but i also thought it is a plunger sticking or maybe magnetized.
Quoted from MRG:Its not supposed to work like that. It may have code in the game to "blow off" the animations with the double flipper press, but the game should drop the post when the animations are finished. I just repaired a game and a stronger spring fixed the issue. the original spring is too weak.
Thanks, was a bit confused about it, as my old RFM didn't act like this.
Can you share what spring you used, please?
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Anyone replaced the red T-mold on the head?
Mine is looking pretty faded. Trying to decide if I want to keep it red.
Anyone changed it up? Black, Chrome? Red metallic?
I changed to black and I like it a lot...green looks also rad.
