Yes, display will go blank for a second if optics are working.  If there is no change door optics are not working.

Since the door is in an "Open" state, the "Service Credit" button should have put credits on your machine when you tried it in Reply #27.
BUT...you have a hopper code [3100] with an open door.
That means someone played a game while the door was open and the hopper paid out one extra coin.
To get rid of that code, the door still has to be closed.

Have you tried to see if the door emitter optic is putting out an infrared light beam while viewing with a camera?
Power up the machine and look at it with the camera on your cellphone.
1st picture is the door emitter OFF.
The 2nd picture is the door emitter ON.
It looked to be slightly purplish in color when I took a photo of it for you.

Yeah i tried that but did not see anything...

Also, new status....I checked the cash box door and taped down the switch there so it would ensure its closed. Then when i powered back on again, there is now no display at all. I did notice it was dim from my experience with other machines, but now nothing is showing.

This machine is really giving me a run for its money.

I am wondering if i should just buy a new board and start from there?

Taping down that small cash box switch doesn't ensure that there's continuity in that line - the switch itself could be bad.
Best way is to cut the two ( light green?) wires, strip the ends and twist them together with an electrical cap or electrical tape...caps work better than tape tho.
There also may be another switch that works in parallel with the cash box door switch...it would be located behind the frame on the top left of the belly glass door as you swing it down.
Make sure that switch is in a closed state too - or cut the wires and twist them together like the cash box door switch.
Without you verifying with a multimeter that there's continuity in that line, you cannot be sure of it just by taping a switch lever together.


Although it's not a bad idea to have a working spare MPU, going out and buying an expensive MPU board might not fix anything...try these suggestions 1st...a lot less expensive!
You need to try to make sure it's not the optics before buying an MPU.

The door emitter optic: You stated...>>> " i tried that but did not see anything.."
This sounds like either you're NOT getting any power to the door emitter optic or it's burned out.
You might wanna get a spare set of door optics to try.

Got back tinkering around with machine. For sure power to bill validator, glass lights, .25 cent panel light, and reels firm with power. Still nothing more. No other displays or errors. No reset clock so connecting wires with jumper does nothing. Pushing test button nothing, pushing coin credit button nothing, door closing doesnt change anything.

Changed out board with working machine, no different.

What next as i want to buy cosmetic parts, but do not want to on a dead machine that is too costly to get running?

You need working door optics, until then you will get nowhere.

Yes i just dont really know if they are working or not. I tried the camera tip but i cant see anything different than that of my working machine.

I wasnt aware that the door optics would keep the display board, test button and reset switch useless. I hate to mess much more with my good machine, but i guess i could switch out the optics and see.

If you get no display at all something else is wrong.  Sounds like problem with SS, SP chip or MPU board.

Yeah, thats why i put in the board from my other machine and same result. Now, didnt put the questionable board into my working machine. That may give me more clues as if the display works, etc. then maybe the display is off or something. Perhaps it will show also if the optics are an issue.  I am really stumped.

To clarify and confirm, the one to check with the camera is NOT the one with the glass on it? The one that is "projecting" is the one that looks more empty?

Not all optics are the same or made by the same company.
IGT had these things made in Mexico as well as in the States....these optics are diodes really.
So without you posting a picture, I don't want to guess what you mean by "glass" or "more empty"  :rotfl: :24:
BOTH optics have "glass" and if you'll notice, the door emitter, and cabinet receiver optics have different colored wires too.

The door emitter optic is on the door....that's the one you want to view with a camera.

The receiver optic is on the right side of the reel shelf in the cabinet near the latch...it receives infrared light and doesn't emit any light at all.
Offhand, I cannot remember if the way to see if a receiver optic is any good would be to unplug the Molex connections to it and use a multimeter on the two housing pins - checking for ohms/continuity.
If there's no continuity in the multimeter loop you make, that would mean the receiver optic is burned out?
That's my guess...I just never tried to see if the receiver cabinet optic was any good....I'd let others comment on that.
I would like to add that I've never had a burned out receiver optic as well - other than one that had a broken wire.
