I don't know of any way to test it but, if you have a regular s2000 with no bonus game, I would swap them out as they don't require it, unless you are using titto or have a bonus game, just to rule it out. You might also try a netplex auto config if you can get into the operator menu or a clear.

Thanks Brian. It was a 5 reel missing the monitor as a D.D. Run. I changed the reel tray, button deck etc. to 3 reel, I/O cards and so on. Everything works in another machine so I guess its time to trade that WAP and see what happens. I did put regular chips in it and it plays as a S2000 but not a vision.

When you changed from 5 reels to 3 reels, did you also change the harness from 5 reel to 3 reel.
You don't need to change the harness from 5 reel to a 3 reel, but you do need to put jumper plugs in the last 2 reel spots if you leave the 5 reel harness in.
Don't know if this is part of your problem, but thought i would try and rule another possible issue out for you.

yes tray and harness. Got to be that WAP unit.

When you switched from 5 to 3 reel did you put the 2 pin jumper on the harness behind the hopper?

therockinelvis · « **Reply #25 on:** February 02, 2015, 06:40:16 AM »

I used a 3 reel harness. What jumper pin behind the hopper? Please explain. I've heard of using a jumper for the 4th and 5th reel harness.

This one, it should be bundled just above the power dist board

OK this last bit was just plain dumbness. When I found the 3 grey wire plug not connected, I ran a continuity check back to where it plugs into the monitor. All was good. I plugged the wire into the WAP unit, but forgot the monitor. What a difference 1 plug makes. Working like a charm now. Thanks to everyone for the help.

It's always the little things that kick our ass, lol
Like that midget gal in Vegas back in '89...

It goes to show, that no matter how much you think you know. Something is going to fool you every now and then.

Glad you figured it out!
One time I was checking fuses wondering why I had no power?
Works a lot better when the machine is plugged into the wall socket!

This Slingo game must not have a lot of info. to process. 95 seconds from turning on to ready to play. Just like Munsters. When I got my first Pink Panther it took 7 min. 45 seconds to boot. Changed NJ version chip ti NV chip and now 2 min. 15 seconds to boot. I love these visions with the bonus play.

haha! Found an old video I did hooking up a keyboard to the Vision topbox computer a few Thanksgivings ago...>>> http://youtu.be/f1v5ITvglHk
It was fun getting into the IGT Vision computer but I don't know how to use old dos commands...Lol

Do you happen to still have the pinouts for connecting the keyboard to vision LCD. I tried to look on the old site. I can't even find the search button there. Not sure if I needed to have a logon for the old site or not. Thanks!

Ian

Ian, copy that quote and PM bunker. He might have unsubscribed to this thread

"...hooking up a keyboard to the Vision topbox computer..."

OMG...it's been 6 years since I did that...I'll take a look around.

Okay update...>>> I cannot find that keyboard laying around.
I know I threw out a bunch of keyboards during the summer so it may have been trashed.
Presently searching through some of my Vision platform notes.

ianmcneil68 · « **Reply #35 on:** November 14, 2016, 08:42:10 AM »

Thanks for taking a look around. Let me know if you come up with anything.

Stayouttadabunker · « **Reply #36 on:** November 14, 2016, 09:44:30 AM »

Okay...the moderator of the Vision section here should move this to a new topic maybe starting from Reply #32?

I need to ask whether or not the keyboard you want to use Ian, has the 5-pin or 6-pin connector end?
I attached a couple of pictures below...>>>

ianmcneil68 · « **Reply #37 on:** November 14, 2016, 09:58:07 AM »

It's the 6 pin.

Stayouttadabunker · « **Reply #38 on:** November 14, 2016, 10:03:38 AM »

okay, I looked through my notes but couldn't find a whole lot more so I feel like I'm starting from scratch again...haha!
Basically 4 wires are needed to communicate with the topbox computer via your keyboard.
What we need now is the layout schematic drawing of the topbox computer circuit board...I had it once, gotta find it for ya.

Here's a picture that I had saved for the pin outs of the 6-pin DIN plug...>>>

Stayouttadabunker · « **Reply #39 on:** November 14, 2016, 10:15:20 AM »

4 of your wires from the keyboard are going to go to 4 of the 5 pins on the topbox computer.
I remember making a 5-pin harness by cutting off the DIN plug on the keyboard and soldering 4 pins to the keyboard wiring but noting beforehand which colors went to which DIN pin first.

Which ones on the circuit board?...I don't know yet because I need a schematic of the circuit board....still looking.
I have a drawing somewhere...lol
One thing for sure, a multimeter will tell you which one of the 5 pins on the circuit board is shooting out 5+ volts.
Also, if you flip the board over, you'll be able to tell which pin is the one for common circuitry ground (-).
You'll know you'll have power when these two are connected - the keyboard's "Number Lock" LED will light up.
As far as the key data and the clock wires, those ones will be 2 of the remaining eight board pins for them. UGH

Here's a photo I took of my topbox circuit board with the cover off.
You can see in the smaller rectangle box that IGT etched "KBD/MS" onto the circuit board...>>>
