are the PE Motherboards the same as SPluS motherboards?
-
I think the boards as different. Did you mean the mpu board (the main logic circuit board) or the motherboard?
(as you may know, the motherboard is the smaller interconnect circuit board that the mpu board plugs into. On an S+ the motherboard lays flat on the bottom of the machine cabinet and the mpu board plugs into it vertically)
-
Yes I was referring to the motherboard not the CPU
I know the CPU boards are different
-
ok, just wanted to make sure, sometimes someone will refer to the mpu board as the motherboard.
Anyway, since the mpu boards are different, and the mpu board plugs into the motherboard and routes all the signal lines to various connectors I'd think the motherboards are different also.

They look the same and I know the s2000 and game King motherboards are the same.
The main reason I asked is because I am getting the coin in time out error and I have replaced the optics, coin comparator. I read a old post that stated that it could be a wiring short where the door closes and replaced all the Wiring and still have the same error.
Also changed cpu board and tried clearing the board several times and still have the same problem ???????

Hang on for a little bit, someone more knowledgeable will tell us for sure.

Have you tried pressing the small button on the optics when you have the door open ? and does it add a credit.
If it adds a credit I suspect they are ok.
What kind of coin and what kind of comparator. A CC-16 is for your Penny through Quarter while the CC-33 is for your larger coins.
If you have a CC16 (most common) - I would try putting in a dime in the sample coin and try that.... Don't expect them to work with your hopper this is just a coin in test.
Once suspicion is that your new coin optics might be two narrow for your quarters and they are dropping too slow.
If the dime works then you can get spacers for your optics to make them a bit thicker.
Hope this helps.

The mother boards are completely different but there is a long, single row, connector near the lower right of your picture that is the door and optics connections to the MPU board.
In some cases a pin gets bent over at one end of this single row connector. The right most pin is for the door optics.
If it is bent over the door closed is not detected and could give a coin in error.

Thanks for all your help on this.
I am getting a new motherboard to
See if that could be the problem
I checked all the things you mentioned and the white plug next to the optics do not work.
I have tried 3 different sets of optics and coin comparators all the same
Thanks again for all your help

On some repairs I have discovered the long, single row, connector looked fine but when I removed the motherboard I found the PC trace on the bottom of the board was broken by someone trying to remove the board from it's mounting pins and using a metal tool to do it.
I always use a wooden spoon handle to pop the board off of it's pins.
