Nice 👍 it’s sad that we have to spend another 100$ for a 700$ cab!! End up spending 800$!!we shouldn’t be spending more money to fix errors… that’s just my opinion… other than that great tutorial video 👌🔥🔥🔥👊🐲
Well said!! Totally agree with this!! It’s even more sad seeing people on places like Reddit acting like it’s no big deal having to do stuff like this. If I pay $750 for a cabinet, it should be nice. Not a piece of junk that I have to go and fix. No one should defend that.
I upgrade all my cabs to 19" monitors anyway, so it is not a big deal for me...but I look at it from a different point of view. If A1UP did put in a better IPS monitor, the price would have went up $50-100 dollars anyway, so either way would have paid more. And if the price increased because of a better IPS monitor was in there, many people would have complained about the price being too high. At any rate, I wish they would have just put in the better monitor if price was an issue, but there are many that like the monitor the way it is. So for them, they have to do nothing. If you want a better monitor, you have the option to do so.
@@2Dai4 It is hard to say without knowing what A1UP motivation was for putting the monitor they did in there. If they went away from the BOE because the price of them would have jacked up the price of the cabinet, then from a business perspective, I would say no. But I am speculating...could be they just went with the cheapest on they could fine and did not care of the quality. I am assuming they did what they did because of price increases or could be because they needed to get out quickly to meet sales quota. Again, just depends on their motivation of why it was put in there. But at any rate, whether the price would have gone higher or not, I think they should have put an IPS in there like the 17" once in the 3/4 scale cabs. They may be saving a buck or two, but the optics from the community and others is that they are putting greed first and that is not worth saving a few bucks, to me anyway.
I watched your video along with TheRealSmilebit video tutorial and completed the monitor upgrade last weekend with fantastic results. While the original monitor worked ok, I was never happy with it. Now it looks great! Thanks for sharing this mod!
Just did the monitor upgrade today, couldn’t have done it without your video. The difference is night and day. Literally, the old screen look like everything was at night. 😂 hopefully arcade1up learned their lesson, I know I sure did.
Finally got around to doing this. Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. Hardest part for me was trying to get the bezel back in place. Found that to be a PITA, but managed to get it done.
Appreciate the video (and the original poster)! My son has to sit on a stool while playing and the washout is bad at his level (almost 3-years old and bowled a 143 his second round). Just purchased the monitor, hoping it increases his experience but hopefully he doesn't get too much better otherwise he'll be kicking dad's butt and taking my money 😂 .
One note -- not sure if others have experienced this, but the Dell monitor randomly shut off after a few hours of play, likely due to overheating. I improvised and took two pieces of wood and taped them on the inside of the machine to move the metal box further away from the monitor. Will let you know how it goes but that should hopefully allow for more airflow, with less heat being directly exposed to the monitor.
Great mod - glad to see your Golden Tee cab is much improved. However, I'm having a tough time with having to do all that work at the price point they're selling that cab for.
Just did this today. Great instructions and left side bezel screws loose so that no short out issues - hopefully. Got a grade B monitor for $55 shipped. No dead pixels or scratches. Looks completely stock other than you can actually see it on angles now! It is the BOE type, and it made all the difference. Took about an hour or so. Thanks for posting this!
@@brianleatherman2049 the side ones. I believe they put pressure.i leave them really loose. When it comes to placing the screen back into that "wooden" trim. I'll slowly tighten the screws on the side if I'm having issues placing the screen inside of the wooden trim
I'm glad you had good luck. Kyugh... What a pain! With mine (An LG) the screws going into the right side could affect it... Okay, adjust them. Lay the assembly into the wood, screw it down, it's back... And now it flickers. Tilt it back out, readjust the screws. Now tightening them clears the issue. Tighten them, lay it down, start screwing... Flicker...flicker. Finally figure out that the panel is twisting somewhat on installation. Bend the plates that rest against the wood so they're flush. Lay it down. Screw it in. Begin replacing the bezel... You guessed it. I'm on the right track, though. Tear it all down again. Bend the resting plates even more...button it up etc etc. Aaand..... So far it's working. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for the video Fox ! I personally won’t be getting golden tee but it’s good option for people who did get it. Sad that it didn’t come out right from A1U in the first place
Just did mine today, and wow what a difference. Bought 2 monitors off ebay for 90 bucks, both were the LG. Worth every penny and about 45 minutes worth of work.
Just an FYI...it was brought to my attention that screw the two screws on the right of the casing when putting in the LCD panel can short out the LED strip in the LCD Panel. I have not experienced this, but two people I know of had this happen. One person stated it shorted the LED strip in the LCD Panel..another said it was blinking in and out. This makes sense as the LCD strip is on the right side of the LCD Panel. The person who said it shorted the LCD strip just made sure not to tighten the screws too much. Just enough to hold the LCD panel in the casing. The person who said it was blinking in and out stated it stopped after loosening the screws. Again, I have not experienced this but to be safe, only tighten the screws enough to hold the LCD panel in place on the casing, particularly the right side.
hi i watched your plug and play upgrade video and went and bought the 4 pack of monitor off ebay it was a better price and deal for when i get the killer instint pro and nba jam shak edition keep up the great work and keep making videos a new scriber and like what i see from you !!!
awesome video fox! they haven't done an Xl cab I personally want yet, but I'll definitely keep this in mind if I ever get one. I wonder if there's a 17 inch equivalent for those new legacy cabs 🤔
Thanks fox!!! I poured some whiskey grabbed a screw driver and knocked this out of the park. Can’t believe how bad the old screen was … night and day literally !!!!
This is the mod i was waiting for! Thanks Fox! Unfortunately, I did my monitor swap today and it lasted for 5 minutes before the monitor stopped working. Double checked all connectors. No go. Now I have to decide if it’s worth another $90 to try again. Super sucks.
I did this with an “Open Box” 1917s from eBay. It worked, and then it didn’t. The screen went from working to going black. I could turn it off and it would work again. I could play a round and it would be just fine. Then I could be in the middle of a round and it would go black. Now it’s just black all the time. Can still hear sound. Will need to order another one unfortunately. But I followed everything in the video by step. I just went back in to make sure my connections were snug. Connected everything back in, turned the power on…nope, still black. Bummed out, but the screen only cost me $50ish. 2nd time is the charm hopefully…
19kfox, First off, thank you for sharing. I hope Arcade1up sees this video. Second... I think you and I have different definitions of "plug n' play." For me, plug n' play would've been, disconnect one cable from the old monitor, remove it, pop in a new monitor, plug in that one cable, turn on and play. But seriously, I really appreciate you sharing all your modding projects. For me, just putting a 3/4 scale Arcade1up together is a chore in frustration. It's cool to see so many different people of varying skill levels enjoying the same hobby. vgv
I learned to upgrade up, not down. Put a Dell FPB200 in my Buck Hunter cab and it was a huge mistake. The used monitor was already burned out and it looked terrible. It's a big risk taking out something new for something old.
Hey. Love the vid! I am curious if I can use a larger monitor to Mount on a wall but with the same software in the 1up cab? Maybe wire extensions or an adaptor available? I would cut down the cab and mod it to achieve
Has anyone else whose tried this have an issue where the lower right hand quadrant of the screen is dimmer than the rest of the screen. I've tried this with two Dell E1917S monitors and had the same problem with both. Any clue as to why this is happening?
Can the A1UP monitor still be used for another application if I would use the Dell driver board and connections after the swap - or is it not compatible?
Nice upgrade. I wouldn't buy a machine that I have to upgrade myself because the company decided to shortcut quality. I was going to buy one. Going to pass. Thanks for the post.
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to mods. Does anyone know if there are other monitor models that will work as well? I think sellers have caught on to these Dells having a second life with arcade hobbyists. I can find all kinds of other 19" monitors, including Dell that are $10-$20 and not the $50-$100 these P1917S ones seem to bring.
This upgrade is absolutely mandatory. Spend the extra money. You shouldn't have to but totally worth it. BOE this is the way. Thanks TheRealSmilebit and 19kfox
Stock monitor is fine, only looks like crap from the sides but that’s not where you’re gaming form anyways so you’re just doing it for looks, not function
I’m so confused. I bought and received my golden tee 3d today and the screen seems really good. I move to the side and nothing goes black or washed. Was there an update or something or did they change screens? I bought a screen thinking I’d change it when I get it but it really already looks good.
@@19kfox I was looking around and haven't seen anyone that has modded that Shaq cab yet and that surprised me. Knowing that I could makes me very interested in picking that up. Thanks!
Great job man but if I’m gonna do all this work I’ll just focus all my energy on something that has more than few select games and create my own Mame arcade. Way too much work for me.
I think we need to petition Arcade1up to halt the use of the NP, or PN, or whatever that garbage monitor is in the latest cabinets, and go back to BOE monitors. Sadly, I won't be able do this mod, as I'm legally blind. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi Fox. I followed your process to the tee and it worked well. Was a very easy swap. I did however break the lvds metal clip that holds the wires inside the monitor. Had to use tape to keep the cables secure. I do notice now that the screen kinda blacks out here and there. Any idea what could cause that. I thought about removing the screen and checking cables inside the pcb but opening it again and such is a pain lol.
@@19kfox you think it's the cable going bad? I did notice today something odd. I turned on the cabinet and the marquee turned on, and I could hear sound but the screen was black. I turned off the game and turned it on right away and the screen was still black. I turned it off and left and came back about 2 hours later and as soon as I turned it on the screen came on like magic. Did the cabinet fix itself lol or you think it's my cable.
@@pxp751you might’ve over tightened the four little screws that secure the monitor to the mount. People have reported needing to barely start the threads or you risk shorting the led backlight out on the monitor….ask me how I know. Lol
The monitor I got is a p1917sf. I bought it months ago advertised as a p1917s and just now opened it to do the mod. Came to realize that It has the lg lcd panel. Will that work with this or does it have to have the Boe?
Before I watch … does this fix involve spending more than $25 . If so with all respect I’ll skip it . Tired of paying $700 only to pay hundreds more to make something right that should have started out that way. Still giving you thumbs up 👍for helping the community Fox but it just pisses me off spending more money. I’ll wait for answer before I watch.
Let me put it this way. If you know a guy that’s got this monitor already, then it’s free. I get it bro, crazy that I gotta fix something I just bought. Sometimes you gotta fire and adjust. Appreciate the thumbs up. 🦊👊🏼
@@19kfox thanks for the honesty and your thoughts much appreciated . You deserve every kind word and like you receive. I’ll watch and start searching goodwills and yard sales👍
Hell with that. Buttons is one thing. Buying and installing a frigging monitor means its a cab ya shouldn't be buying. What is this, fantasy labor camp for Arcade1up?
Just did the conversion, looks great followed your video, only thing is the high scores wont load....Internet is picking up the networks...but the scoreboard just says "loading"" and never does...Game runs great....I tried checking all the connections{ and the wifi} any ideas?
Yes. You’ll need to fabricate a new mount and make sure the aspect ratio is 5:4. Beyond that you’re only limited by the inside dimensions of the cabinet.
@@19kfox Bummed. Should have tested the monitor first. Got it installed and there is an issue with brightness distribution on the right side. Nicked the bezel decasing it so there is no sending it back. This was a brand-new monitor too. I even tried loosening the case screws but it made no difference. Hoping that I didn't overtighten them to begin with and damage the monitor.
Any idea how to increase the brightness on the monitor once it’s replaced. I noticed my golden tee 3d xl after I replaced the monitor the screen is very very dark. I can faintly see the loading and start up screen but it’s so dark I can’t see anything.
Tried this swap again today. 1st monitor worked for a few minutes then turned off and wouldn't come back on. 2nd monitor turns on but no picture (sound and marquee work) Tried to install the stock monitor again and now no picture on that one as well. Any ideas? Thanks!
A local referb/realer company had a heap of the 17 inch version of these for sale at the start of the year for $35aud. Me been the forwarded thinker knowing they are good for 1up mods picked up 7
Well mine was an epic fail. Found this monitor for $40 and did everything perfect. The loading screen appeared and then went black. Went back and retested the monitor and somehow I fried it. It will power on but nothing on screen at all. Had to put the old one back in. Bummer.
It was brought to my attention that screw the two screws on the right of the casing when putting in the LCD panel can short out the LED strip in the LCD Panel. I have not experienced this, but two people I know of had this happen. One person stated it shorted the LED strip in the LCD Panel..another said it was blinking in and out. This makes sense as the LCD strip is on the right side of the LCD Panel. The person who said it shorted the LCD strip just made sure not to tighten the screws too much. Just enough to hold the LCD panel in the casing. The person who said it was blinking in and out stated it stopped after loosening the screws. Again, I have not experienced this but to be safe, only tighten the screws enough to hold the LCD panel in place on the casing, particularly the right side.
This would be a great solution if the monitor wouldn’t keep failing.This is the second monitor and I don’t understand why it works for a while and then just a black screen with sound and marquee only working.any help Fox?😢

so I did this upgrade, my monitor turns on I can see the game..but then monitor turns off and will not turn back on until I let the game stay off for a while. I bought a BOE monitor (BOE MV190E0M-N10 LCD Display Panel 19-inch) from EBAY. Any suggestions?
@@19kfox Yes, monitor worked two minutes then no display. turned off machine waited...worked for 10 seconds with display. now nothing. But marquee and noise from game.
doubled checked all cables and ground cables everything is correct Just no display now. Bad monitor?? It isnt the Dell one like yours it is the one I listed the BOE one from EBay New
@@19kfox ok, tried a different BOE monitor it is working perfectly. I guess I bought a bad one the first time. Great tutorial BTW. This time I did the exact monitor you have from the Dell instead of just buying a BOE display brand new (that was the one that did not work). Lucky, EBay accepted my return. So lesson learned.. buy that EXACT monitor (Dell) and follow the tutorial. Easy peasy!!

Hey Fox. Bought mine for 90..
Delivered from eBay. November 2018 boe. Took 60 minutes and looks amazing!!!. Thanks.
Thanks for the guide! I did the mod. I left both sides of the screws loose. No issues after 30 minutes of gameplay
Great video! My golden tee looks fantastic now! Thank you! 🏌🏼♂️⛳️
Awesome, that’s a really nice upgrade for the Golden Tee 3D cab ⛳️
this is an awesome mod for this cab, i just picked up this monitor for my golden tee. thanks for the video, 19k fox your the man !

One note -- not sure if others have experienced this, but the Dell monitor randomly shut off after a few hours of play, likely due to overheating.

Would I have to do all that swapping if I'm hooking a Pandora's box to the new monitor or leave the monitor as is after uncasing it?
Can you use the same monitor on the Shaq xl nba jam cab?
What’s the song playing in the background as you assemble?
Can the A1UP monitor still be used for another application if I would use the Dell driver board and connections after the swap - or is it not compatible?
So we now have to add speakers stick's buttons AND now a monitor?? So we get a pcb and fake wood from 1up for $700?

Hey great tutorial! One quick question….do you lose your save data when you do the monitor swap?
In my opinion, I wouldn't think so. The pcb is where all the memory is saved.
Just picked up my XL cab on sale for $349 so I won't feel bad about having to do this mod. The price will still be decent overall.
That’s a great price, even with the cost of a new monitor.

Does work on the NBA Jam Shaq cabinet as well? Are there any other Dell monitors that would be a direct drop in replacement?
Yes this will work on ShaqJam. I haven’t found another 19” that works but I’m sure there are others.
@@19kfox I was looking around and haven't seen anyone that has modded that Shaq cab yet and that surprised me. Knowing that I could makes me very interested in picking that up. Thanks!
What about an upgrade for the track ball?
Great job man but if I’m gonna do all this work I’ll just focus all my energy on something that has more than few select games and create my own Mame arcade. Way too much work for me.
The monitor should take up all the space. It’s waaayy too small! All that work and it stayed the same size?
Anyone try this on the nba jam xl? This has the similar monitor problem.
I think we need to petition Arcade1up to halt the use of the NP, or PN, or whatever that garbage monitor is in the latest cabinets, and go back to BOE monitors. Sadly, I won't be able do this mod, as I'm legally blind. Thanks for sharing this.
🦊👊🏼
Thanks for the Video 19 K!! It's definitely a shame we consistently have to buy extra parts to Fix Arcade1up problems!!😒
TheRealSmilebit's video is from yesterday. How'd you get a P1917S so quickly?
I was given a heads up.
Can this monitor swap be done with any other cab? Could you replace a 17” A1Up monitor, assuming you would need to modify the bezel to do it?
Yes you can but they have to be Gen 1 monitors.
Hi Fox. I followed your process to the tee and it worked well. Was a very easy swap. I did however break the lvds metal clip that holds the wires inside the monitor. Had to use tape to keep the cables secure. I do notice now that the screen kinda blacks out here and there. Any idea what could cause that. I thought about removing the screen and checking cables inside the pcb but opening it again and such is a pain lol.
Here’s a link for a replacement lvds cable. a.co/d/3vhBqv2
@@19kfox you think it's the cable going bad? I did notice today something odd. I turned on the cabinet and the marquee turned on, and I could hear sound but the screen was black. I turned off the game and turned it on right away and the screen was still black. I turned it off and left and came back about 2 hours later and as soon as I turned it on the screen came on like magic. Did the cabinet fix itself lol or you think it's my cable.
@@pxp751you might’ve over tightened the four little screws that secure the monitor to the mount. People have reported needing to barely start the threads or you risk shorting the led backlight out on the monitor….ask me how I know. Lol
@@michaellorenzjr.9765 I know. I had to buy another monitor.
Well now if I get a Golden Tee, I'll know how to fix it. The monitor is the only reason I don't have one already.
And the constant immediate upgrades continue even with the newest cabs 😕
I wasn’t happy with the stock one and I had to do something.
Anyone successfully do this on the Shaq Xl cabinet? Great video thanks!
The monitor I got is a p1917sf. I bought it months ago advertised as a p1917s and just now opened it to do the mod. Came to realize that It has the lg lcd panel. Will that work with this or does it have to have the Boe?
Did it work?
Hey. Mine still don’t want to show screen after $108 😭
Before I watch … does this fix involve spending more than $25 . If so with all respect I’ll skip it . Tired of paying $700 only to pay hundreds more to make something right that should have started out that way. Still giving you thumbs up 👍for helping the community Fox but it just pisses me off spending more money.
I’ll wait for answer before I watch.
Let me put it this way. If you know a guy that’s got this monitor already, then it’s free. I get it bro, crazy that I gotta fix something I just bought. Sometimes you gotta fire and adjust. Appreciate the thumbs up. 🦊👊🏼
@@19kfox thanks for the honesty and your thoughts much appreciated . You deserve every kind word and like you receive. I’ll watch and start searching goodwills and yard sales👍
Will the 1917fpt work?
Hell with that. Buttons is one thing. Buying and installing a frigging monitor means its a cab ya shouldn't be buying. What is this, fantasy labor camp for Arcade1up?
Just did the conversion, looks great followed your video, only thing is the high scores wont load....Internet is picking up the networks...but the scoreboard just says "loading"" and never does...Game runs great....I tried checking all the connections{ and the wifi} any ideas?
Not much you can do but cycle power. Don’t fight it too long, if it’s new put in a ticket with Arcade1up. 🦊👊🏼
Is there any way to put a larger monitor in the game? Same series of dell monitor but 21 inches
Yes. You’ll need to fabricate a new mount and make sure the aspect ratio is 5:4. Beyond that you’re only limited by the inside dimensions of the cabinet.
Where did you buy the monitir at
Awesome repair... screen look awesome... but I stick with my wave 2 golden tee...
If you want it to repurpose the Arcade1Up Golden Tee monitor, will that work in the Dell housing? Or is it basically scrap once you remove it?
Yes, you could swap it back into the Dell housing.
@@19kfox Bummed. Should have tested the monitor first. Got it installed and there is an issue with brightness distribution on the right side. Nicked the bezel decasing it so there is no sending it back. This was a brand-new monitor too. I even tried loosening the case screws but it made no difference. Hoping that I didn't overtighten them to begin with and damage the monitor.
I assume this would work on the shaq edition nba jam cabinet as well?
That’s a safe assumption.
Thanks for the reply. Love your videos.
Ya these monitors are SUPER hard to find used, new ones are like $250 A piece, there must be ANOTHER monitor that can be used??
i just bought this monitor for $35
Any idea how to increase the brightness on the monitor once it’s replaced. I noticed my golden tee 3d xl after I replaced the monitor the screen is very very dark. I can faintly see the loading and start up screen but it’s so dark I can’t see anything.
Alex it maybe an issue with that monitor. Did you buy it used?
@@19kfox yes.
Sadly I had to order another one. Hundred bucks down the drain.
ridiculous they used this monitor but if you can get it for 3-400 and add a monitor for $45 or so its a good deal. Best 1up when upgraded IMO
Tried this swap again today. 1st monitor worked for a few minutes then turned off and wouldn't come back on. 2nd monitor turns on but no picture (sound and marquee work) Tried to install the stock monitor again and now no picture on that one as well. Any ideas? Thanks!
i'm in the same boat now... what happened to you? did you fix it and how?
What year is your monitor?
Now do the trackball
That's wonderful with that monitor. So what is the cost for a new monitor? Thanks for the video.
I think they’re priced about 270
Ebay
Check out eBay. I paid about $50 for a good used one.
I was lucky to pay $100 for a brand new one on OfferUp
@@19kfox did you get one for your new Shaq cab also? 😂
A local referb/realer company had a heap of the 17 inch version of these for sale at the start of the year for $35aud. Me been the forwarded thinker knowing they are good for 1up mods picked up 7
whats the model number?
Does it have to be that monitor?
Well mine was an epic fail. Found this monitor for $40 and did everything perfect. The loading screen appeared and then went black. Went back and retested the monitor and somehow I fried it. It will power on but nothing on screen at all. Had to put the old one back in. Bummer.
At least the PCB is still good. 🦊👊🏼
It was brought to my attention that screw the two screws on the right of the casing when putting in the LCD panel can short out the LED strip in the LCD Panel. I have not experienced this, but two people I know of had this happen. One person stated it shorted the LED strip in the LCD Panel..another said it was blinking in and out. This makes sense as the LCD strip is on the right side of the LCD Panel.
The person who said it shorted the LCD strip just made sure not to tighten the screws too much. Just enough to hold the LCD panel in the casing. The person who said it was blinking in and out stated it stopped after loosening the screws. Again, I have not experienced this but to be safe, only tighten the screws enough to hold the LCD panel in place on the casing, particularly the right side.
This would be a great solution if the monitor wouldn’t keep failing.This is the second monitor and I don’t understand why it works for a while and then just a black screen with sound and marquee only working.any help Fox?😢

@@therealsmilebit maybe put electrical in between the screws and the monitor?
Electrical tape sorry
19kfox do you know if the nba jam cabinet is a first generation let me know please thank you for your time and trouble
3rd gen.
@@19kfox so the monitor will not work with this cabinet then ?
@@19kfox is the new legacy mk a 1st gen machine ?
so I did this upgrade, my monitor turns on I can see the game..but then monitor turns off and will not turn back on until I let the game stay off for a while. I bought a BOE monitor (BOE MV190E0M-N10 LCD Display Panel 19-inch) from EBAY. Any suggestions?
Can you still hear the game when the monitor is off?
@@19kfox Yes, monitor worked two minutes then no display. turned off machine waited...worked for 10 seconds with display. now nothing. But marquee and noise from game.
doubled checked all cables and ground cables everything is correct Just no display now. Bad monitor?? It isnt the Dell one like yours it is the one I listed the BOE one from EBay New
@@19kfox ok, tried a different BOE monitor it is working perfectly. I guess I bought a bad one the first time. Great tutorial BTW. This time I did the exact monitor you have from the Dell instead of just buying a BOE display brand new (that was the one that did not work). Lucky, EBay accepted my return. So lesson learned.. buy that EXACT monitor (Dell) and follow the tutorial. Easy peasy!!

Just upgraded mine 1000 percent more enjoyable
Just send your old monitor back and bill them.
Not a bad idea!
Would this mod work for the new NBA Jam Shaq edition?
Yes it will.
After 10 months, have you had any issues with the mod?
None at all.
Do you have a link for where to purchase?
I purchased this Dell P1917S on eBay.
