Just put a new battery on this board & did a clear & adjusted the settings, closed the door & the machine will not go into ready to play mode, reels 1 & 3 won't set. Getting a 4.0. In the win/pay window. What can I check for?

I would try another clear. Sounds like the reels did not calibrate. After you clear it and move the jumper and reinstall the MPU, turn it on , keep the door open , the reels will rotate then stop and then show 50 on the display?

After Replacing the MPU Assembly and switch machine
power ON. The machine will enter a Reel Calibration
procedure whereby the home position is recorded in
SafeRAMâ„¢. For tilt-free operation it is important that the
procedure completes without interruption

Just did another complete clear, put the jumper back on the 2 legs, reinstalled the MPU, left the door open and still the same, reels 1 & 3 continue to spin slow, the only one that stops is reel number 2. Do I need to set the dip switches a certain way before or after I clear it?

No need to change dip switches. Swap reels 1 & 2 to see if the problem follows the reel.

Are you performing the clear properly? The jumper goes on the two legs to do the clear, then you put the jumper on one leg after the clear.

Yes sir, I did just like that

Sunrise Side · « **Reply #6 on:** September 26, 2020, 09:01:45 PM »

Did this machine work before this? Try swapping the reels

br549autosales · « **Reply #7 on:** September 26, 2020, 09:03:05 PM »

No idea, I bought it in non working condition

br549autosales · « **Reply #8 on:** September 26, 2020, 09:22:28 PM »

I moved the reels, still just one of them is stopping, the other 2 continue to spin & won't calibrate

I replaced all 3 reel assemblies with 3 from another working machine and now reels 2 & 3 are stopping after they calibrate but reel number 1 stays spinning slowly & won't stop

I turned the jackpot key on the right side with the front door open & all 3 reels did stop finally but I'm now getting a 4.3. In the win pay window & the bill v as validator won't stop cycling & just stays lit Red, not green.Could I have a power supply issue causing this?

Have you verified the MPU board has no issues?

br549autosales · « **Reply #12 on:** September 27, 2020, 10:08:34 AM »

Other than the dead battery & clear that's all I've done with the MPU board, what can I check on the MPU?

slcjeeper · « **Reply #13 on:** September 27, 2020, 10:19:04 AM »

I highly recommend sending it in to get tested. It may have some gremlins in it that you would never find. KLAR can test and repair these boards.

I would try the basic things, reseat you wiring connections at the mother board. Then try swapping out the PS. If your problem Continues, then I would assume itâ€™s the MPU board.

Sunrise Side · « **Reply #15 on:** September 28, 2020, 07:00:51 AM »

Yes power supplies are a common problem on these models.

br549autosales · « **Reply #16 on:** October 01, 2020, 09:22:52 AM »

Got it working now with another MPU but the JCM DBV-200 just cycles 10 times then stops but it won't light up green at the bill entrance & the sound is not working at all. I checked behind the belly door & the speaker is plugged up & the volume on the front of the MPU is turned up. Any idea what I can do t get my sound to work & to get the bill acceptor working? Thanks

Sunrise Side · « **Reply #17 on:** October 01, 2020, 02:09:52 PM »

Another common problem for no sound is bad speaker. Test the speaker with a ohm meter and see if it has any resistance. Open the top of the DBV and clean the upper and lower optics with a damp cloth of just water.

Just checked the speaker and it showed 6.8 in my meter. I cleaned the upper & lower optics on the bill validator & it's still cycling we 10 times, stops and still stays lit up in red. Still no sound either

br549autosales · « **Reply #19 on:** October 01, 2020, 04:47:09 PM »

The bill validator did start working finally. For what it's worth, I am getting a high pitched hum from the speaker behind the belly glass but still no reel spin sounds, button sounds, roll up sounds, etc. Is there a dip switch setting or a setting in the menu that could be the culprit?
