I need Help

I Checked the Door Optics but its ok. the slingment is correct. but the Bright 3 is still there.   Any other solutions you might know of?

Does the florescent lights work (top box, reel and belly)? 
Is the top candle flashing? 
Do the reels spin when you power up the machine? 
Do you hear the bill validator cycle when you power up the machine (assuming you have one)?
Have you checked all three fuses?

Can you answer the questions PLEASE? If we do not know the answers, it could be a dozen different things! We've asked multiple times for answers from you! We'd love to help, so please, LET US HELP YOU!!!!!

One of the crucial questions and the one that tells us if you mpu board is even good, is.  When you power up the machine, open the door and see if the reels are stiff or they move easily as if the power was off.  The the reels are stiff, we got a good beginning, if they are not, then your MPU board is not working or there is no power going to it.

How do you know the door optics are working? You have stated both the MPU and Motherboard work in your other machine. NOW PAY ATTENTION. What is the machine doing when you turn it on? Having that one number showing there make me think you have been turning the jackpot key. The machine has to see the door as closed for the reels to do their MAIDEN spin then be ready for play. One LAST time, what is it doing? We are all pretty much experts. Without the machine in front of us. We rely on your description.

Ok when i turn the machine on the candle on top blinks,  The reels stiffen up but do not spin after you close the door.  Lights on the machine, the Belly Glass, top Glass and Pay line  Display lights up.  THe Jackpot reset does nothing when you turn it and the white reset button does nothing when you push it.

The candle will help us troubleshoot what is happening ... 

With the door open, you turn on the machine and the candle blinks -  What part of the candle is blinking (Top, Bottom or Both)?  Is it blinking FAST or SLOW?

After you close the door, Does the candle stop blinking?

Also double check the Two plugs attached to your Display board on the door. Make sure they are seated correctly.

Thanks for that info. I must admit that I am at a loss right now. Since your board works in your other machine it has the chips installed the right direction with the notches. That being said, open the belly door by pulling out on the knob and see if there is a switch in the top left of it. If yes pull the wires off and jump them together. The problem is in this machine because the boards are good. Plug and unplug every harness going to all the boards. Check the wires leaving the door to the machine. Maybe something got pinched. Another culprit is sometimes machine is moved flat and coins get into crazy places. I have had the problem with the white test button not doing anything and a clear fixed that. Look in next to reel 3 and check if wires are going to JP switch

I think I have it. Do you have a hopper? That 3 might be it needs to pay 3 coins before it can be game ready.

Winner paid would show the coins out, not remaining. 
I don't think the Display board is currently operating correctly. 
The "3" in the Winner Paid window doesn't mean anything.

It has a hopper but if i put it back in the machine it still shows the bright 3
