Working Then Not
« on: May 09, 2023, 10:03:31 AM »
My IGT 5 coin wild cherry has been a long term dependable machine. It is in my office at the house and get used often while sitting in meetings.  This morning it was working as advertised. An hour later when I walked into the office I hit the max bet and noticed the only thing that was working was the light on upper panel. None of the winner paid/credits etc were on. No lights anywhere else. When I reboot, the bill validator runs through its boot up sequence. I can’t access any setup and no codes. All fuses are intact and mother board looks good (meaning no blown battery).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the voltage on the battery on the MPU.  The motherboard(backplane) has no battery.  Also check the harness from the power supply to the motherboard at the motherboard connector for burnt marks.

Thanks for the correction. The MPU battery looks good and read 3.6vdc. Looking at power supply now.

The power supply and associated pins all look good.

Do the reels spin and get stiff when you turn machine on?

Pretty sure the power supply smoke checked itself.  Took it apart and two of the resistors (maybe?) are loose from the board, solder pulled away and lots of browning on the board, inside the case signifying smoke.

Now I am in search of a new power supply.

First thing, lets make sure what type machine you have?  picture would be nice?

second thing, there are no resistors in the power supply module for a s plus machine, only wiring, transformer, wire blocks, ac filter, and fuse holders, and an aux. power plug. and output connectors!

need pictures of what you are referring too.

None of that stuff in your photos are in an S+ slot.

One thing for certain, I've never seen a Phihong power supply.


Can you show us a full picture of the front of this machine?

Your photos are quite small...only around 33KB to 50KB in size...you know, you can post pictures as large as 1000KB.

I am quite dumb. My apologies. That is the power supply that got burnt. That is definitely not the problem with the machine not working. I will take some better pictures of the machine this mornin. I will make them bigger too.

Better pic of smoke checked bill power supply….  I know this is not “the” problem but if I want the bill validator to work again I will need another.

You are doing much better with your photo taking!  :applause:
Open the door and take a some of the guts of your machine.
You fried something...we need to find out.
Are there any other power supplies inside the machine?
Is there a big long box on the floor on the right wall?
There would be 3 fuses on the front of it.

Need to get the machine's main power supply working before the bill validator.
Like SCM said, you can disconnect the bill acceptor for now.
You have a coin acceptor?
Let's see the inside door panel.
