S2000 Keeps repeatedly saying ;Display passes self-test; but wont boot up ?

there are 8 switches on the right side of the WBA , all should be in the up position, to test the unit, pull out the cash can, put switches 1-2-3 and 8 down,  put in the machine, apply power,  reach in and push switch 8 up, unit should cycle briefly, now you can insert a bill into the unit, normally it should pull it into the unit and run it through and deposit it where the cash can would have been.  you can use this method to determine what software you have in the unit by the type bills it will accept. 

if it doesn't do this then you either have a bad head or a bad transport unit.   

restore all switches to the up position.

I have tested WBA transports available if you need one. ID024, version 3.8 for IGT, will take all the latest money.

Jim, I have messed with this thing most of the day and I think I have a bad sensing unit. The transport mechanism seems to work ok but it will just not accept the bills on a regular basis. I had 2 tens, 3 fives and 7 ones. It took almost all of the ones, two of the fives but none of the tens. Granted they were the newer style that are that rusty brown color. I didn't have any other cash at home. The sensing eyes, at least that's what I think are the sensing eyes are round and seem to have cloudy "worn" spots on all of them. I managed to clean all the crud off the wheels but the lenses won't clean up or shine. They just stay opaque. So, with all that said, I think the sensing unit may be bad. What should I have to pay for a new one? Also, I have looked very closely and I don't see anything there that should light up the insert bezel. I don't know what to look for but to me, it seems to be missing. Can you maybe post a picture of what one looks like? I tried to find pics but no luck. Thanks for you help.

Look on the inside of the door just above the slot the bills slide thru for the BV bulbs/wires/sockets.

Thanks so much. Being the newbie/novice that I am, I was looking for it to be somewhere on the BV. I never thought to look on the door. I found it and pulled both bulbs out for inspection. They both "appear" to be good. I'll have to try to trace the wiring to see if something has come unplugged. Do those PCB's go bad often? I found some on eBay so I know they are available but I don't see buying one until I verify that mine is bad. Thanks again for your help. I truly appreciate it.
