Give us an explanation of why you installed that Clear chip in the first place.

Turn off the power.
Remove MPU.
Take better pictures of the writing on your chips.
We cannot see anything except the SB100054 chip.

Once you do this, we will have better answers for you.

At least the MPU LED's aren't showing a red LED.

See what happens when you post clearer pictures?

You get help!
Good job!

Check your harness connections coming out of the back of the reels and where they plug into.
Don't remove anything or plug back in unless the power is OFF.

When working on these machines, take your time when plugging and unplugging stuff...rushing only breaks stuff.
Make sure chips are in the correct orientation and plugs are where they're supposed to be.
If you have any questions, take good pictures and explain what you did or what you want to do.

I turned off the machine told all the plugs out I put in an extra three-row harness it seems like to me nothing happening I keep getting real disconnected I was wondering one of the wires on the pinout could be in the wrong spot

Stayouttadabunker · « **Reply #107 on:** January 28, 2020, 11:44:39 AM »

That connector looks fine...check the back of the reels.
Pull each reel out one by one and inspect the connector pins both sides for anything bent.

All the pins go into the back of the reals are fine there is no power going to the real motors I'm not energized they're not powered on they just turned free you know I got a bad harness I'm just not getting any power going to the real

I had a similar problem. I had one of my reel plugs mounted on the reel shelf that had push its self backwards slightly out of place. This was not allow the reel itâ€™s self to be fully connected to that plug. It looked fine. I reached around from under the shelf and held the plugs while I put the reels back in. Once connected my error cleared its self.

Have you tried to clear after you properly installed the RAM chips?

You've GOT to be kidding me?

They were fine in your 1st picture!

FORDF150 · « **Reply #115 on:** January 28, 2020, 06:31:07 PM »

I think they were loose it's constantly taking the harness out of the card and swapping them I was thinking about fixing the wires but I don't have the special tool for those types of plugs

Ford,

Let's try this....

Assemble your machine back to the way it originally was, meaning all chips in MPU the correct way, all wiring harnesses plugged in and routed/pinned correctly, all I/O Cards in their correct location, Reels installed, MPU seated, and anything else that you removed or have taken apart.

Now, once that is done, forget about your original problem and let's turn on the machine and start fresh.

Then and only then we will be willing to help you through this.

If you need assistance putting things back in their place, ask in a PM or post a photo here and a member will explain it to you one step at a time. That includes wiring and pin locations as well.

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves again, this will cut down on the confusion.

So, one step at a time.

Then turn on the machine and post it's condition, make no furthur adjustments until directed to do so.

We want this game to play as much as you do.

Thank you,

Curtis ash100

. This is the beginning to be a problem I do not like doing this all the time to everybody I know I'm being annoying. I'm get your everybody told me to replace cabinet card and real control board I put the items in and still no result now a new problem this harness going to the cabinet card to the.
Lite controller board. just came apart I think it's just by playing with them all the time now I have to try to fix them instead of buying a new new one.
Back lite controller board is getting power.

I know you don't want to spend anything more to get your game going, but at this point I'm afraid you have no choice. That's what happens when you just start taking things apart that you have no need to mess with.

I'm not sure how far you've made it on putting your machine back together, but you'll definitely need that harness to make any progress.

You can try to repair it by gently lifting the locking tab on the contact and re-inserting it into the connector. It will lock in if you haven't damaged the tab and the inside of the connector. That will sometimes work without having to crimp on new pins.

Otherwise you'll need to purchase that harness.

Did you get your MPU squared away? Put all of the chips in their correct locations facing the right direction?

You need to mount the Reel Light Controller on the back wall of the cabinet with the correct plate and cover assembly. Doing so will prevent shorts and un-necessaary strain on the wire harnesses.

Let us know once everything is back in place. We can still work with you, but do not get ahead of yourself, and stop taking things apart for no reason.
