Netplex error is from the machine going through its start up sequence, and somethings failing to respond. I have heard of bad florescent light ballast causing problems. Thatâ€™s why I said to unplug them. Not needed to run the game.

Nothing changed after I disconnected the wire harnesses from the printer, bill unit, power supply, light. I disconnected one of the clips from the display unit and the NETPLEX error message became the normal brightness and wasn't flashing, not a dull flashing light like it is when the clip is in. Ill post a picture of the clip that I took out to make the message bright again(Its the green wires) Ill keep trying that though

Wonder if you could have a problem with the VDF Display Board? Can you give us a larger of full picture of the back of the door? You could possibly have a bad door display? Can you also post a pic of the front of the door..

Hope this helps

Your doors wired differently then mine is here. The VDF Display Board is located on the inside of my door. I circled thee red/bk wire plug top, and the green/blue on the bottom of my board. This is the board I thought was bad on yours, but now Iâ€™m a little confused on where yours is, or if itâ€™s part of your blue door display? Hopefully someone can explain this to me. Can you start plugging things in like the printer, bill acceptor, and ballast one at a time. Then check to see if your display starts flashing again. You more then likely will still have the Netplex error, but just trying to figure out whatâ€™s causing the flashing display. Remember to alway Power the Machine off before plugging items back in. Have you checked to make sure that your IO boards are plugged in tight? If anyone else has any other ideas please chime in.

Gary,
Yours is an older display type with a card and ribbon cable attached to the VFD. His is all built into the VFD so all of the plus go directly into the VFD. The display types are interchangeable as complete units ( one with a display and card the other with just the display itself)
I've seen both the VFD or the red led display cause this type of problem. If you have another machine you might want to try swapping.

Thanks for clearing up the difference Qbert 👍

I hope everyone is having a good Sunday. I just got done monkeying with the machine, unplugging the units and restarting one at a time. Nothing has changed but I noticed something I thought was weird. When I have the #1 reel out of its slot the #2 and #3 reels are lit up, when I plug back in the #1 reel the lights turn off on all 3 reels. if I pull out the #2 or #3 reel the others don't lite up like it did when I pull out the #1. Hope that made sense. Is that weird?

qbert · « **Reply #48 on:** March 17, 2019, 01:47:55 PM »

Normal when you pull the number 1 reel for the others to go bright. When all the reels are in they are lit but very dim. Also dim as long as reel 1 is plugged in.

I looked at the VFD on the other machine and its just like the one in Amechanic's picture. Any suggestions on what to do next?

qbert · « **Reply #50 on:** March 18, 2019, 10:05:34 PM »

I would try swapping the VFD. Remember you will have to use both the display and the board with the ribbon cable when you do the swap.

amitzivitzie · « **Reply #51 on:** March 18, 2019, 10:25:43 PM »

Do you think I could find a used VFD part to buy that's like mine? I don't want to mess with the other machine to much. Do you have a part name I could search for

Amechanic · « **Reply #52 on:** March 18, 2019, 10:54:31 PM »

Post a WTB ad with a pic of your part or try contacting a few of the venders on the top of the home page. Ohio Gaming, Midwest Slots, slot whole salers to name a few.

I'll keep you guys posted on any news. Thanks

amitzivitzie · « **Reply #54 on:** March 24, 2019, 11:27:24 AM »

The new display did not fix the problem, nothing has changed. I think I'm ready to try a clear chip or a new board. Which one do you guys recommend?

This is for the members helping amitzivitzie as well...
This is his machine.
Can the denomination touch screen cause a netplex error? Just thought I'd throw that out!

Stayouttadabunker · « **Reply #56 on:** March 24, 2019, 04:10:50 PM »

Not kidding....a connector to the wrong NC tang (as opposed to a NO tang) of a deck button switch threw everything off on mine once.
I couldn't even get the Spin button to work when in the settings even with zero credits on the display.

I read through all four pages of this thread and unless I missed something it sounds like this is still the original 1270 MPU board, but minus the Varta/U16 and made a trip somewhere to be tested correct? If so, I would try another known working 1270 board.

Also, make sure you aren't swapping components without turning the power off first.

amitzivitzie · « **Reply #58 on:** March 25, 2019, 09:00:58 AM »

You are correct Tilt, the board was sent in with the original power supply and they said they couldn't get the board to respond with the original power supply so they tested it with a different power supply and it worked. When I got back the parts(the new power supply and original board) I tried them in my machine and nothing had changed, still had netplex error, so I removed the VARTA and U16 and still nothing had changed. How much does a new 1270 board cost? If anyone has 1 please let me know. And yes I was powering off the machine while swapping parts

Thank you guys soo much, this is an awesome community here

amitzivitzie · « **Reply #59 on:** March 26, 2019, 01:40:36 PM »

Hey guys so would buying a new 1270 board be the best next step? If I bought a new board and it had the same SB chip would everything be ready to go or is there anything else I have to do?
