S 2000 door optic bypass

[coorslight115]

9 out of 10 machines people have brought me to fix, that they performed the optic bypass on had other issues. The optic bypass did not fix their problem, only compounded it by their lack of skills performing the task. IGT designed it to work that way and it does as designed. If you have bad optics, replace them. They are not that expensive and the risk of added wiring done by non-skilled people only complicates the troubleshooting for the rest of us. I had a machine come in today that the customer has been tracing down his errors. He has bought from many vendors here. I told him to bring the machine and all parts he bought and replaced in his repair attempt. He brought (4) door I/O cards, (2) Enhanced MPU, (2) Legacy cards, (1) VS chip, (1) DSLP001 chip (1) Motherboard.
He had swapped all these and still had issues. was told to do Optic bypass so he did. machine still not working
He screwed up the wiring on the bypass, The door I/O card was no good, The MPU had a bad reel 3 driver chip and his optics were good.
I replaced the green battery on his original MPU, put back his original I/O cards, un-did the optic bypass, and replaced the line display meter that caused the failure in the first place, and he is up and running again. Sometimes they resort to overkill.

Identify the problem before you re-design the machine !!


And to add to the level of experience , he added an external volume control to adjust the volume. He did not know you could set it in the menus. Bought it from one of the Ohio boys.

Coors if you are going to slam people in Ohio ... start naming names.

Sorry, did not mean to insinuate that it was any fault of the seller, Just stating where it came from. All the damage was done by an un-educated buyer. All the parts and help he got was from here and many suppliers.
