Title: Cleopatra 5 reel problem
Post by: RayV on December 15, 2019, 11:11:56 AM
Machine worked fine last time I had it on but turned it on last night and it does not work.
All lights are on but I get nothing in any of the displays on the front.
4 amber and 1 green LEDs are on the MPU.
Any ideas?

Try swapping power supplies if you have another one.

I do not have another one.
I was thinking it is the power supply myself though.

Does anyone have a replacement power supply for sale?

I have one. Not sure that is your problem. Do the fluorescent lights come on? Reels spin? BV cycle?
Check your PS & make sure it is seated well & the thumbscrew is tight.

Lights will come on
Reels do not spin
BV does not cycle
Nothing shows in any display on the front

That does sound like the power supply. PM me if interested in one.

I have had that happen several times. I would say 99 1/2% power supply. Just incase its not its good to have a spare.

Hey guys
Looking for some help with this machine again.
I picked up a power supply from RB a few weeks ago but this problem has returned.
The one I got from him had a noticeable internal buzzing from the start but it did work for a few weeks.
Could it be possible this power supply went bad too?
I don't know why but I am questioning if I have a problem with the MPU board.
I do have an extra 3902 board from my Game King but it is not exactly the same and I am wondering if it would work.
Top pic is the Cleopatra board, bottom pic is the Game King board.

NO you can not put a S2000 MPU board in a game king or game king MPU board in a S2000.

You can swap power supplies they are the same.  If the new one started buzzing then that may be the problem. Did package look damaged or anything?  RB is a stand up guy and would not send you a bad one.  I am sure he tested it before he sent it.

Ok thanks, I did not realize they were the same power supplies.
After a quick swap to check it, the power supply is not the problem.
And apparently it wasn’t the problem in the first place because my original and the one I got from RB both work fine in my Game King.
Any other possible ideas?

Try unplugging all the fluor tubes from ballasts and see what happens. Could be a ballast going bad, causing the buzzing and other problems.

Ok this thing has a mind of its own apparently.....it’s working again now.
Tried disconnecting the lights...no change.
Checked all the plugs in the entire machine...no change.
After pulling out the MPU board for the 100th time but instead of just staring at it, I pushed down on all the chips and put it back in.....it starts working.
None of the chips were visibly unseated but a few did move slightly when I pushed on them.
I am going to leave it on for a couple hours to see if anything changes.
