La Jolla, CA
I just noticed the backglass art on my TNA is separating/cracking in various spots. Anyone else experiencing this?

Quoted from Strohz:I went to update the code one time and I noticed I had multiple cracks like that running throughout the backglass and a couple of areas had completely broken loose! I always assumed it was a silkscreened backglass, but appears to be some sort of vinyl layer as it isn't ink flaking? I reached out to their customer service about it and they weren't sure why it happened to some, but we exchanged photos and they took care of it to my satisfaction. Like many others have commented, Kudos to Spooky tech support for sure! Definitely reach out to them about it if you haven't yet.

I reached out to them and it cost me $100 to get a new backglass. I'm thinking I'll clear coat both of them and use the old one for wall art.
One of my speaker lighting strips was having a sporadic issue so I assumed it was most likely a cold solder to 1 of the pads on the PCB of the LED strip. I disassembled to trouble shoot and noticed a fair amount of yellowing in the LED strip's waterproof coating, along with some browning on the PCB, and the strip was fairly loose since it was detaching from the glue in places. I've had my TNA on route for 2 years straight so it's spent a good portion of it's life powered on so I figured the best coarse of action would be to replace the RGB strip with a new one that doesn't have the waterproof coating in hopes it doesn't get as hot when it's on for many hours a day.
Here's the issue: I soldered the color coded wires to corresponding pads on the new RGB strip but it lights up yellow instead of the game's default purple/pink. Anyone else out there that's knowledgeable about why this might be? Maybe TheNoTrashCougar can shed some "light" on this?
Also, I replaced the speakers with these since I thought the cone color would provide a better background for the speaker lighting: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004S52O5M/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_CUgIFbSK54AGX
