Hi
I'm changing my s2000 from 3 reel to 5 reel game.My questions are my connections correct on my back lit controller?And if they are in correct locations the 8 wire plug on left side bottom center,dose that mount where i have it in picture 2?And where the best location for door optics on a 5 realer,i see a lot of information in regards to location on a 4 reel conversion,but none on the 5 reel conversion.Is there anything else that i need to hook up in the lower box?THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP

First off that is a three reel Backlit controller board, It will not work. You need a five reel controller board. First picture below

Also this wire connector needs to be jumped together

Sorry my mistake,i sent the wrong pictures.Here is the 5 reel controler pictures

How,do i jump the green wire?

That is still a 3 reel controller, look at the pictures in my post to see a 5 reel controller.

Just jump the wires with a plug or a wire with terminals, or a piece of wire and electrical tape.

This is a 5 reel backlit controller

This is a 3 reel backlit controller

Here is a picture of the 3 reel board i took out of my working 3 reel machine.This kit was was bought new with 5 reels,cables and board,shelf from la slots

Must be a newer style board, Are they LED lit reels or bulbs?

If it helps here is the part #76936300 of the board that came with my reel kit.Is it possible there is more than one version of a r reel board.What is the board i have pictured?thanks

bulbs in the reels

here is a picture of the reels with bulbs

HI
Still looking for answers on my 5 reel back lit board,do i have the correct board,is it hook up correctly?What dose the green wire go to that i have been instructed to be jumped.I don't have another 5 reel to compare the correct install hook up,so I'm depending on this forum membership who have done the installs in the past.
THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL HELP

Looks like you have everything you need. There's only 2 plugs coming off the 5th reel end of the reel harness going to the backlight controller. The single black plug coming off the 1st reel end of the reel harness going to the motherboard. You've got power to the backlight controller and the backlight controller to cabinet I/O board interconnect so you should be good to go. I beleive the newer version backlight controllers are set up to be used with either LED or incandescent bulbs depending on which reel harness is plugged into it

HI
Thanks for your responce it good to know im getting closer.What about the green wire that i was told to jump.Do  i jump it,or leave it alone?
Thanks

Best I can tell you is that on my Cleopatra that plug has one green and one black wire going to it and they are NOT jumped out. On my 3 reel machine that plug only has the green wire.

Jumpers are not needed in this 3 reel to 5 reel conversion.  The jumper is required on a 3 reel plus bonus reel (example, Big Times Pay) conversion only.

Also, no jumper needed on a 3 reel to 4 reel conversion either.  I just did the conversion.
