trackball issue

[troy]

Forgive me, this is an odd question, not sure where to post this (if even on this site)

Ive had my mame cabinet for a year now, and the trackball (HAPP's) has been great. About a week ago it started to be fussy about up/down and so I took it apart and cleaned it. In the process, I accidentally ripped 2 wires out of the ps2/usb cable on the 4 pin connector. oops.

So, I ordered a new one, along with new shafts and bearings just in case.

I installed the new shafts and bearings, and the new cable, and im still having the same issue. Do you think I should order new pcb boards and maybe new spinning wheels (that go on the shafts) or could something else be the culprit? It works at very low momentum, just not when you spin it (as you would for Golden Tee for instance).

any thoughts are appreciated. Id hate to plunk down $120 on a new assembly altogether just to fix it.

There might be someone here that can help, but you would probably find the BYOAC forum or maybe even KLOV a bit more useful. This forum, while we try to help all related issues, it primarily focused on the front end (GameEx) and setting up software (and hardware in some cases) to work with it.
