Removing the "Control Panel"Updated 2 months ago

In order to remove the control panel on your Polycade, follow these steps:


1. Open the drawer on your Polycade 

2. Unscrew the 2 thumbscrews located approximately 4-5 inches from the outsides of the panel. NOTES:

  • These feel like little metal knobs that are meant for your fingers. If you find the rubber bumpers with a screw in the middle, you're too far back.
  • If you have a v2 Polycade (v2's have a metal cabinet and no camera above the screen), then there may be 2 additional thumbscrews 6" back from the front two (parallel with the front two. These will be tricky to reach. We recommend unscrewing the back left one first, followed by the back right one, then the front two, as removing each one can make the next one harder to remove. 
On the v2 and v3, the front thumbscrews can be by sliding out the drawer:On the v4, you will need to open the  access panel on the front of the machine and then locate the thumbscrews in the location shown below

 

3. Pull the control panel out by lifting the front of the panel up and then sliding the panel toward you.

 

 

4. Disconnect the USB cable on the back, and you can fully remove the control panel.
