Did you do something like this for the bypass? Also, is there a striker on the door side that lines up with the cherry switch? I had 1 machine that was missing the striker. I had to steal one from one of my S+ machines.

Yes that's exactly what I did, I used that same diagram. Yes the strike is where it should be and making contact as the latch moves up and down

You are going to have to try a different board. As others stated it never hurts to have another around. I hate to have you throwing parts at it but from out here we can't have our hands on your machine. That makes things more difficult to diagnose. I am thinking that all the steps have been taken to try to eliminate all but the board. Prices vary widely so be smart. I see them as high as $150+. I think I paid $45 for my last one but I had bought a bunch of stuff from the guy. I'd look here on NLG first. You tend to get a little better pricing. If I see something I'll PM you. My bad board was a 1952-0 and I replaced it with the same. I don't know enough to say what is better or worse but someone will probably chime in.

Thanks, I'll look around for one but I know absolutely nothing about what could be used in place of exactly what I have, so please chime in!

504B is best without upgrading it and the motherboard to 1270 enhanced

I've read several things about when removing the varta battery that a jumper wire is needed and or removing other components. Does this apply to my machine?
How do I identify which board I have?
Do I have more options when I change the board than to replace it with the same one?

Is there any missing from my board? It seams to me that there should maybe be a memory card in the two empty spaces.

cowboygames · « **Reply #46 on:** November 13, 2016, 02:41:02 PM »

You have a 500 series board, likely 502. The battery is the only thing to remove and no jumpers

cowboygames · « **Reply #47 on:** November 13, 2016, 02:43:34 PM »

your board looks nasty where the battery was removed and the surrounding area. Have you tried rewashing it with some baking soda both front and back?

GT350 · « **Reply #48 on:** November 13, 2016, 02:46:56 PM »

No I haven't, just a water and baking soda mix? Does the battery need to be discounted to wash it?

qbert · « **Reply #49 on:** November 13, 2016, 02:52:31 PM »

Vinegar the battery is alkali you need to neutralize with a mild acid. Mild solution of vinegar and water followed by lots of plain water.
I doubt your going to save that board it looks pretty bad.

cowboygames · « **Reply #50 on:** November 13, 2016, 02:59:32 PM »

Remove the daughter board before washing and try to avoid getting water under your processor chip also

cowboygames · « **Reply #51 on:** November 13, 2016, 03:01:45 PM »

Thanks Q, I get the cleaner wrong all the time because I always think of what I use on my car battery. Has hasn't cost me yet though, lol!

The jumpers aren't needed. The board I bought has them but I have others that do not and they work fine. To identify your board remove the lite board that is piggy backed on one side. Not really necessary though. We know what series you have and someone already chimed in on what your choices are. No memory goes on the board (SIMMS). Those remain empty. I've dealt with Darell at slots4home and Jim at midwest slots. Both are good guys. Give them a try. There are plenty of vendors here who can help you out.

What cash box would I need and what does it take to upgrade to be able to accept new bills

ianmcneil68 · « **Reply #54 on:** November 13, 2016, 05:36:08 PM »

Cash box first, new bills later. Get it running first. It may already accept new bills.

rickhunter · « **Reply #55 on:** November 13, 2016, 05:50:30 PM »

You need a WBA cash can.

GT350 · « **Reply #56 on:** November 21, 2016, 06:29:08 PM »

I got a package from Ohio Gaming today and my machine is up and running

Thanks Ohio Gaming!!

How do I remove the cash box

ianmcneil68 · « **Reply #57 on:** November 21, 2016, 06:37:02 PM »

Good job!

I've been wondering about this. Does it accept new bills?

Ken · « **Reply #58 on:** November 21, 2016, 06:43:22 PM »

Glad to hear everything is working good.

There is a lever to the right side of the cash box .. I think you push down for a WBA and pull the can out.

Thanks,
Ken

Thx
It accepted the new 10s and 20s that's all I've tried so far.
Thanks all for the help

Is the volume adjustable?
If so how?
