the saga continues - sorry - installing the jumper - no effect - tried both IO boards - same - COIN IN JAM.
Both boards are part no 75427801 code 100973 (the boards mounted on door light panel) - the board mounted on side of CPU compartment has no labels on it.
Did NOT try a clear again.

One more time are they known good IO cards!! or is it just the stuff you got with the machine and unknown?

801 cards are cheap, talk to one of the sellers
Could be MPU, but you said Spin tested it. I assume you inspected the socket at the bottom of the IO card slot and the door harness where it plugs into the motherboard. Keep in mind IO cards are VERY static sensitive and any kind of short in the circuit or anything connected to that IO card can cause a failure.

came with the machine - so far every major component has had issues - I have seen machines at auction where sellers purposely stuffed bad boards in a machine but based on what i see - the departed owner pulled his hair out as well - tracing down wiring etc. I have a spare mother board which I haven't tried - (did swap out the eeprom). Got a call into spin as i have problems with repairs in the past. Thank you all

SPIN has control - they are checking out ALL the components (some again) the cpu - the monitor - the IO cards - AND the backplane board.
Thank you for CONDENSING the posts _ HOPEFULLY - SPIN will resolve this issue and my next post will be my last on this one. Thank you all for your patience - I learned a lot about S2000 - and hope the solutions posted here - will help others solve their issues with these "not so home friendly" machines.

saga continues - sorry - SPIN found nothing wrong with the boards (io - backplane etc)
since the coin in jam seems to be caused by the wiring from the coin handling (the jumper) I will trace all the wires back to the backplane - maybe there is a break in a wire.

GOS · « **Reply #167 on:** August 04, 2017, 07:23:55 AM »

checked wiring from the comparitor harness (15 pin molex) to the IO board amp harness - from the output harness from the io board back to the backplane harness - all wiring is good.

cowboygames · « **Reply #168 on:** August 04, 2017, 08:20:21 AM »

Have you looked at the socket fornthe door IO card to be sure there are no issues there? Tried the bypass plug on the comparitor harness machine side? If all boards are good and wiring is good I guess I'm out of ideas. You might try unplugging reel backlighting from the IO card on the MPU housing if the machine has that lighting, then restart it. Pull the hopper out and restart it. Unplug credit display and restart. Unplug VFD and restart

GOS · « **Reply #169 on:** August 04, 2017, 08:24:58 AM »

amp plug on the io card no issues - yes i have the jumper on the machine side of the comparitor harness - haven't tried unplugging various devices - will do so when I get boards back from spin - the assumption i took is that the coin in jam error has to be a board or wiring issue - since the boards are good - i chased the wiring from the comparitor harness thru the io board - back to the backplane board.

Yeah, I'm wondering about a connected component being weak or bad

rokgpsman · « **Reply #171 on:** August 04, 2017, 10:46:08 AM »

Might be good to work at this from a different way. Try each component from this bad machine one at a time in another known good machine to prove that each component of this bad machine is ok. You might have more than one component acting up, or a compatibility issue between two components. At least you'd prove what is good instead of trying to find what is bad. That would narrow down the list of what part is the cause of the problem.

Also, don't assume anything, prove for a fact what is good. Assumptions are what lead to frustrating and time-consuming deadends.

GOS · « **Reply #172 on:** August 04, 2017, 11:42:00 AM »

spin put all the components into their machine and it worked - so there has to be an issue with the wiring. I checked the coin handling as mentioned. I am waiting for the parts to come back for one last fire up. i hate to give up - I like challenges but I think I have to throw in the towel.

cowboygames · « **Reply #173 on:** August 04, 2017, 12:31:11 PM »

Have you been able to try an MPU that's newer than the game software? Maybe your MPU's just weren't built to handle that software

GOS · « **Reply #174 on:** August 04, 2017, 12:49:39 PM »

spin checked out all the boards and they are compatible and worked for them

cowboygames · « **Reply #175 on:** August 04, 2017, 02:16:16 PM »

Ok, wasn't sure if they tried them in a vision machine, butbI assume they tried them with your chipset so it would need to have been a vision

It already took one life, don't risk another

This is driving me crazy. I had this issue (the buttons not working after key) awhile back. I just, for the life of me, can't remember how I fixed it. Hell, I can't even remember which machine it was. My brain hurts from trying.

I've only been on this site for a year or so but I can't remember an issue not being somehow figured out. It's definitely not for a lack of effort and I know a lot of us just wish we could get our hands on this thing. That's what I think it needs is someone in front of it with other working machines and a pile of spare parts.

GOS · « **Reply #178 on:** August 04, 2017, 02:59:31 PM »

This is the only vision game I have ever seen - have worked on s2000 and igames - so i didn't think a vision would be such a challenge - compounding the issue was the number of component failures (power supplies) - Craig as Spin was a great help - he too had no solution. Machine did not come with any good vibes - the owner passed away - hope that isn't an omen.

cowboygames · « **Reply #179 on:** August 04, 2017, 03:04:31 PM »

Worst case, you might be able to dump all the vision componants and run it standard S2000
