S2000 Replacement LED Button Working, but Not Lighting Up

[TheEyeInTheSky]

So I replaced the old Max Bet bulb button with my new LED button and got it installed fine. I copied the plug-ins for the wiring from the old button. The button works when pressed, but it never lights up. Anybody see what I did wrong? Thanks.

EDIT: Added 2 more photos showing the LED button by itself.

The LED is polarized. Rotate it 180 degrees.

They came shipped to me like this already though. I'm away from the machine at the moment, but that would be odd if the LED was installed flip flopped.

Those are arcade game buttons, not original OEM IGT S2000 slot machine buttons.

These are the S2000 buttons from the set available on Amazon and sold by Spin. I can understand them not being OEM, but they're specifically for the S2000.

I bought the same buttons from SPIN and i had to switch the bulb direction on all of the buttons. It will work once you take out and rotate the bulb around.

Okay, yes the LEDs are polarized, I understand. I ended up flipping the connecting wires around instead of rotating the LED itself. I just switched the 2 cable connections on the sides and they lit up. The light problem is solved.

However, I'm now having a new problem. I've installed everything correctly and the buttons work, but I'm still having my original issue where the machine isn't recognizing every button press. I thought that the buttons were old or icky and so I figured I'd just buy new replacement buttons to solve this problem, but even with the new buttons it's taking numerous clicks to trigger the Service button or the Bet One button. These 2 buttons are the worst, but I'm assuming this issue is equal amongst the other buttons too to an extent.

I've installed new buttons, yet the machine is not recognizing every button click. I have to keep pressing them until I press in the right spot. It's VERY irritating. Please advise.

Akriegs, have you encountered this problem?

The buttons from SPIN are very tight. You need to make sure you twist the light into the Button so when you push the button the little white piece will activate the switch on the button. Try this first.
Take the light and the Button and attach before placing into the machine. Push the button to make sure when the white piece comes down it hits the switch. If it does not twist until it locks in place and then the white piece will hit the switch.

I did twist the light into the button and it did lock. I could swear they're hitting the switch, but maybe I wasn't seeing it right. I just find it odd that the original buttons the machine came with had this problem... and now the new buttons have the same problem. One thing I know for sure is that the smaller buttons have some wiggle room which allows the player to, with some force, slide the button around and rotate it while it's in the panel. It's not a perfect fit. I'll look again when I get back to the machine and report back to this thread.
