I know, I was just being myself. Sorry, that's my humor. :)


I hope that someday I will be able to contribute something useful enough to this forum that others will find it helpful. For now, I'm almost entirely dependent on your vast knowledge to get me over one hill at a time.


Retro, thanks for the video. It will help. I watched it quickly and it all made sense, but I need to go back and make sure I follow which harness goes where for each step in the process. :)


Bunker, you're consistently helpful to me - Thanks.

A quick update:


I tried everything in Retro's video, and probably a thousand other attempts to get it back. No luck.
Today I went out and started working through the wiring, making sure that each wire was pushed in and straightened out. I tried unplugging the ballasts with no change.


Then, in desperation, I tried one last time...and it worked!


It's been running all day as it should. So while I cannot pin it down, I'm going to say that it is something in the wiring harness or connectors. I'm sure it will return, but when it does I'll start here instead of where I did before.


Thank you for all the help.

Well, after a long hiatus and storage, I'm back to this machine... Same "Coin-in Jam" and "Closure MB" errors.  Buttons don't work.

I'll be posting again in this thread, since it's the same machine and the same errors. Be prepared for lots of parts requests incoming... :)

you only have one error right now, that's the coin in jam.
the closure MB is not an error but just stating that the mail door and Bill Val doors are closed.

Thanks, Bob - Understood.

Some observations:
1. Deck buttons seem unreliable. They light up one time, then don't the next. Reseating I/O cards (With power off) seems to have an effect, but they revert to non-functional eventually.

2. The BV lights up immediately on power-on, shows all lights briefly, then only the blue ambulance light blinking... This happens before the machine completes the self-test and reel spins. Does the bill validator report the coin-in jam error to the MPU? Or is it an I/O line to the MPU?

3. I have a spare 203 I/O module, which I've changed out without really impacting the errors.  It seems that the card on the side of the MPU frame is a 200... Anyone have a spare they could sell? It feels like I should have one, even if it doesn't fix today's issues.

I hope to get more time this evening to look at it. Any suggestions on items to prioritize?

Posting to follow up on the second incarnation of this thread.

It now appears to be working, with the exception of the printer not printing and the TITO not TITO'ing. I've started a different thread for those.

Fix was to replace the MPU board at the end of the day.

Can you get them refurbished, or do I scrap the bad one?
