Help with Call attendant error- Coin In Jam- Flickering display

[smileman83]

Hello all- I have an s200o Vision Slingo that has been fairly problem free. The other day while playing, it went to call attendant mode and the error said something in regard to coin payout was incorrect. The credit red display started to flicker. I turned the machine off and rebooted and reset the machine . ( A few facts first- it does have a coin comparitor, but I dont use coins- only bills). Anyway upon reboot and reset, I get a coin in jam error and the credit lights flicker different numbers. I checked all connections, and rest again. This time the error message was gone- it accepted a $20 and played until I tried to place another $ 20 and the credits went from where they normally were to the number 8 and the coin in jam error reappeared.

I reset again and it seems to be playing okay for now, but I am concerned something is going on that I need to check. One other thing of note is that teh lights on the bill acceptor bezel do not light up anymore after the resets.

I have read what I can read and am wondering a couple of things:

I had the dreaded leaking green battery issue 6 months ago, but was able to remove the battery, clean the board with in checking, all of the nearby traces had continuity- and it played well after doing that. Any chance something in that area of the board regulates this current issue?

Could the display be going bad and that is triggering the coin in jam error?

Since I dont use coins, should I just bypass the coin comparitor?

Thanks for any help in advance

check wire going to display, also make sure I/o cards on door are seated tight

And turn the machine off before plugging or unplugging anything even if it's just to confirm seating on a plug

I had a similar problem and it ended up being a loose cc bracket and a loose coin optics bracket that goes below the cc.

Wee. I checked everything and I had to change a button because the white bulb insert was not staying inside the black housing and when I put it back together everything was fine. Will wait to play and see. Thanks for the help.

Sounds like a failing door I/O...no biggie. $10 or  less...
