OK so you replaced a coin comparitor with a regular coin mechanism? That won't work because the electronics in the machine won't recognize the coin mech.  Hook up the coin comparitor and try the open and close door. Make sure the sample coin is in and try one thing at a time. Don't adjust anything until you have tested coins etc.

21 wont clear if you have a bad cash can door switch or bad optic. Try reseating the MPU also

do the optic test,  press the test button until you see a 10_1, (input test)  remove the coin comp, place a small stick !/4 wide, through the optics (black encoder underneath the coin comp.)  move it side to side, the _1 should change to a _0, turn the reset key, should change to a 11_1 do the same and press the tiny white button underneath the plug on that board same results, then again, 12_1 same thing, same results.   if test 10_1 fails will not change abd the others do, then remove Q-2 or Q-4 on the board, this will solve your problem.  Its a surface mount transistor, not the IR optic.

Hope this helps.

The cash can door switch on the bill acceptor assembly , has the wires been removed from the door switch and tied together so the switch is not causing an open circuit?
