Unfortunately not all games support backlighting. I have a few 5 reel games that don't work with backlight. We ought to start a thread for games that DO NOT work with backlighting, it is always the SB chip that is the culprit as that is the one that incorporates whether or not the game supports backlighting.

Not always, but usually there is a clone of a game that does support backlit reels. Like Cigar for instance, non-backlit SB100001, but if you run Double 5Times pay SB100050 you will have backlit!

Wish they made the damn strips in backlit!

I will retest that, but I am 99.9% sure it does. I tested a SB100050 D5xP a few months ago and it did back light seeing it's a clone.. I then replaced the SB back to Cigar because the strips are obviously non..

I have messed around with the Cigar SIMM in other (lower #) games/SB's and haven't had a problem.

Senior member RB knows whats a clone of what, he rattles that info off often while chatting.. Lets put him to task!

Okay.... I am stuck and need some help. I installed my DD haywire glass, game chip and strips on the new backlit reel kit I got. I cam get the backlights to flash during the I/O test but they don't illuminate during play. I have checked and rechecked connections but to no avail......

Maybe a bulb is out? I seem to recall we have had instances where a bad bulb could do the same?

tomstark22 · « **Reply #66 on:** October 12, 2014, 08:25:38 PM »

If one bulb is out will it cause the entire backlit reel setup to not work?

No, it will still work. Seemed like Ford experienced this with one of his IGT games a while back, and I think he even captured video of it. Not sure what the outcome was.

We need Rickhunter to chime in! Im sure he knows the deal, as do others I'm sure, but I know he had so e issues with this in the past.

rickhunter · « **Reply #69 on:** October 12, 2014, 09:31:50 PM »

My issue was that almost all bulbs were out on a 5 reel setup causing weird behavior, like super bright bulbs. If the bulbs work fine during I/O testing but not during the game, may be the game does not support backlit reels? I don't have any haywire themes, but I could try the SB for doulbe diamond haywire to see if it will light up my reels. Will post results when I try this out.

I got the kit from Roz and it looks good. Went thru and checked every bulb with a meter and they are all good. it is a sb100156..... grrrrrr....

rickhunter · « **Reply #71 on:** October 12, 2014, 10:03:53 PM »

Ok, just tested it and I'm getting backlit reels using SB100156 and SG363's. Which backlit controller board are you using? The one on my machine is the one that can also control LED reels, though I don't think that makes any difference.

Here is a few pics.

Just a question is your Double Diamond Haywire a 2 or 3 credit machine?
I don't show a listing on the IGT site for 3 credit DD Haywire.
I do have a DD Haywire 2 cr machine and it uses SB100155
For what it's worth.

Did you get the HW kit from Jason? That was a very nice kit...I was sad to see it go, and was tempted to buy it back from him actually! Glad it found a good home!

Yes it s a 3 credit with SB10056. N0 I got the kit from Ron. I had got some things from him in the past so he was generous enough to let me get my fingers on it. Everything is in perfect shape except It didnt gave the matching reel glass. Plays great except theses damn not so lit back lit reels!.

Oh, Haha! Your post said "I got the kit from Roz and it looks good".

Tom, be sure your reels are wired correctly. Red/white on top, red/green center, orange lower. If one of them is out of sequence on any one of the reels, it could cause problems. Also be sure the light assy is in the upright position U, not S for slant. See pic. I sent you SB100156 (not 100056).

Here is a pic of what all 3 look like.
