Kindly assist: S+ slot. No display , reels stiff, power ok- wiring issue

[gborrillo]

Thanks in advance for any help.  Been reading many posts on how to fix my machine.  Basically it was working just perfect and the candle light got damaged and thus the wiring came off.   I did my best in putting the wiring back together and got it to boot up, reels stiff, candle light on, but no display.   When I press the white button, I hear a click but no display at all.  I’ve checked the wiring, cleaned out mpu and motherboard, etc.  I’m guessing it has to do with the candle wiring.   I attached pics.    Video of what happens is here:

You did a great job! 
  By the way...Your display is on.
It says "Insert Coins"....throw in a coin.

Pretty sure he's talking about the 7 segment LED display which is still dead in the video.

Correct.   I can’t get to the error display or LED lights to come on with credits, etc.   any ideas?

The candle isn't required, in fact the machine doesn't know if it's there or not.  How was the candle damaged?  Was the machine on or off when it happened?  Trying to figure out a damaged candle could have led to the 7 Segment LED display going out.

The top glass part was just tipped off and it broke.  The wiring for it and everything is still in tact.  I just hooked up the ground wire to each of the bulbs to prevent a short and then turned it on.  Should I just unplug the wiring for the candle? I don’t really need it.   Either way, not sure what else to check.   The plug into the display board seems fine.  Prior to the candle cracking, it was working perfect.

Oh and the machine was plugged off when it happened.  I then plugged it in and the bell started ringing.   So I fixed the wiring for the candle and that’s how I got to where I am now.
