Do you have the original or the replacement board currently in the machine?

Tie cash box door wires together too.


[/size]There were tied together already.[size=78%]
[/size]

It's easy to cut them back another 3" and see what happens.

Sometimes I have had to adjust optics out from the cabinet about 2 thin washers .. like the ones behind the screws that holds the black optic holder.

1)Normal for nothing going to the plug in question.
2)Plug in the I/O card is for back light reels if you don't have back light reels then nothing goes there.

Check your two optics for broken wires they are fragile and can break easily also make sure they are plugged in.
Optic in door wire colors are black and red. Optic wire colors in cabinet are red and white


Sorry for my absence, I have been very sick and today is the first day I have felt up to working on the machine. I and beginning to wonder if the prior owner did not try to by pass the optics. The door wires go to a plug that is not even plugged in and the cabinet goes to I think its J11 on the mother board. 
I feel like I am losing my mind with the gazillions of wires.

Maybe just unplugged.  The door optic should plug into a two wire plug in the door harness.  Black wire from the optic plugs into a red wire with a white stripe and the red wire from the optic plugs into a green wire with a blue stripe.

This may be all you need to do to fix your problem.

I am learning this thing after all.... ☺


So I turned the key at the call attendant and it gave me a proud 0x3 error, turned the key, then initialized. Told me to hold the button 2-3 sec and then shut door. Then reels spun. Now it says closure m. Call attendant.  Meter disconnected. Any ideas?

See if the counters are plugged in (they should be located on the right side of the cabinet there are about 5 of them together going to one plug) if there are no counters they may have been bypassed. http://newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?topic=327.0

Also with the machine turned off please check the cabinet I/O and the door I/O cards check for bent pins and reseat them.
Also you may have to raise and lower the door latch a few times to clear all errors.
These are the things that usually give a meters disconnected error.
Also a coin battery below 2.8 volts may also cause this issue.

They were plugged in. I checked and reseated both i/O cards. Coin cell is at 3v. It made it reinitialize I assume since I pulled the mou to check the coin cell. At the end of the initialize I almost thought I fixed it because it started telling me about 1 play 1 credit,  but within 3 secs in popped back to the call attendant closure m meter disconnected.


Just to save steps I went ahead and tried the jumper that you linked to and same result

If you have lifted and lowered the door latch a number of times then most likely it's one of the I/O cards. I would start with the cab I/O but it won't hurt to have a spare of each and they are relatively inexpensive. Did you check for bent pins on both cards?

I did check for bent pins and they were all good. There were no areas of concern on any components. I don't have any parts so I guess I am going to have to order those if that's the only thing that it could be.


If I have to order that is there anything else you suggest ordering that I may have to have.

Most likely that's it but since you found so many things unplugged I would continue checking the machine for plugs with no home. Is this a three reel or five reel machine?
You are close to having it operational so don't get discouraged.
We still will have to tackle coin operations  :stirthepot:

Ok see attached picture of sure that I found tucked into the Barnes that were just cutoff and what looks like hot glue to insulate the bare ends. I followed them up past the reels and power supply to the top of the box. I don't know what they go to.  Colors are: orange/white   orange/black   red    black

An idea on possibly what you have,,,

Wires that aren't connected and go up to the top box area may have been for casino electronic equipment that is no longer in the machine, such as equipment for player tracking or connecting to the casino network system. That equipment is often removed when the machine is sold for home use, but the wires are left in the machine because it is easier than removing them. The machine will work fine without that equipment.

On wires like that where you are not sure where they go but don't want the bare end possibly shorting to metal chassis a good way to cap them off is to use a wire nut. They are easily twisted onto the end of the wire and can be removed just as easy if you find out later where the wire should connect to. The wire nuts come in different sizes, you can buy a bag of assorted ones or get all the same size. They are usually color-coded as to size. They are normally used to connect 2 or more wires together but can also be used on a single wire to insulate the end.

I got the meter disconnect error cleared.... It showing ready for game play.  It wouldn't suck my dollar in though. So don't know if we want to tackle that first or start the coin process. Either way is good with me. I have already out the door side of the coin in have not connected to harness yet. Hopper is sitting next to the machine awaiting the next step.


I am so excited  and so so very appreciate for all of you guys help!

Please post photo showing complete view of the inside of main door, this is where most of the coin processing is done.

I'm curious how did you clear meters disconnected?

Let's get the bill validator operational first.
1) Does the bill validator cycle when you first turn on the machine.
2) Assuming it does, after the machine is in the ready to play mode does the validator light up?
3) Does it pull the bill in an spit it back out or just nothing happens?

Make sure the cash box is fully seated in place, sometimes a good push is needed to fully seated it in place.
Also make sure the bv is fully seated.
If it was cycling before, the cash box being seated is the most likely.
Also get yourself familiar with navigating though the diagnostic screens (press button on MPU then navigate using the service and cash out buttons save with the play max credit button) I'll send you a link when I locate it.
