Title: PE+ Door Open but not Strange??????
Post by: Inieas on September 18, 2011, 06:45:22 AM
Hi, I have a PE+ that show Door Open Error continuously. When I go into the self test the door shows it is closing, but it does not pulse like usual. What component on the MPU should I replace? Or where should I start Looking?

Please Help

My first guess is that its door optics. Not hard to blow a set of these.

With the low cost of MPUs  I would swap the MPU out. If it works then we can work backwards.

Make sure its not your cash can door. This drove me nuts for a month.

Hi Jay,
I replaced the Optics and they are fine, I replaced the MPU and the machine is now okay. I HATE just replacing boards and would like to fix the MPU. Do you know what on the MPU is faulty?

Ok I figure it out! For the guys that might have this problem one day, Q7 and Q5 were faulty, I replaced them and the Board has been tested and found Ok!!!!!!!!

Just a quick note. Everyone is welcome, but had another PE Plus with buttons not working today. I found the Q7 transistor blown. It happened because one of my operators put the power on the micro switch on one of the buttons
