Hi all, this seems to be what comes up when I look for Aristocrat slot repair, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
I just bought 3 machines from someone on Facebook for $100.00 total. An Aristocrat 5 cent trick or treat slot, a 21 blackjack quarter slot and an older japanese skill stop game. None of them are in working order and I'd like to try and fix them if possible.
The one I want to get working the most is the trick or treat slot. I can power the machine on, all the lights are working including the buttons, but the screen remains blank. I know it's working because when I power it off, you get the brief power down blue sparks (I really can't think of any other way to describe it!) so it's getting power and is on, there's just nothing on it.
I have no keys to the slot. The cabinet key was drilled out and it looks like all 3 keys on top have been bypassed somehow with a small red reset button having been fashioned behind the top glass.
I know that is a very vague description of my problem, but I'm not sure what I need to describe and what doesn't matter. I'd at least like to get the monitor showing some kind of screen, even if it's an error, not just a blank screen.
Any recommendations?
