Title: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: IGTfanman777 on April 10, 2012, 11:31:02 PM :25-
hey everyone. heres the story, my fox n hound nvision display slot worked great till i left it turned off for few months, then when i powered it on it gave a bunch of errors that i cant remember but realizing it was probably due to dead motherboard battery. i replaced the battery, fired back up , i noticed after going through reset motions with key on side 4 turns, and holding reset button for 3 seconds it was back to rebooting normally but after the reels would spin it would display: 'video display comm failure'. how could my display take a crap from a dead battery? a friend told me it probably burned out but i feel like the dead battery caused this and it should resolved. like i said, i replaced the battery, and it seemed like it was booting fine till it hit booting display. then it gives the message. someones gotta have some experience here please help! :131- ty & cheers! Tim. PS. i searched all over this site for an answer before i posted but couldnt find an answer. thx! Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help!

Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: IGTfanman777 on April 16, 2012, 08:20:12 PM OK new battery came. I replaced. At bootup it gets past self test and goes to reel spin but then it still displays
'video display comm failure' afterwards. All connections look fine. This machine was never moved. it just got turned on one day and started doing this. Any other ideas please? Thx so much. Ps. I just noticed it also displays: MSVERIFY: COMM ERROR Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: cowboygames on April 16, 2012, 08:29:36 PM What is the video display itself showing? I know my double diamond run would take about 5 minutes to start when turned on. Are you getting any picture or message on it?
Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: IGTfanman777 on April 16, 2012, 08:31:51 PM :211-No sir, only says on bottom left: initializing, please wait....
And it stays like that after 15 minutes. Never changes. Thx Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: opman on April 16, 2012, 08:39:06 PM Check the black plug with three grey wires on it to make sure it is plugged in well. It is located on the distribution box behind the hopper in the bottom of the cabinet. These are your communication wires. They also plug into the monitor as well. Picture attached.
Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: IGTfanman777 on April 16, 2012, 08:44:49 PM Ty so much for photo. Ok the wires are in good however there is a ticking noise coming from the box. Its like a watch ticking. Normal?
Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: opman on April 16, 2012, 08:46:13 PM not normal. May have went bad and that may be where your problem is. Try swapping with a known good one.
Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: IGTfanman777 on April 16, 2012, 08:48:38 PM Ok thx! Ill invesigate more and post any developments. Your help is much appreciated.
Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: IGTfanman777 on April 16, 2012, 08:52:04 PM One last thing, i notice with the power switch on machine off but power cord plugged in the ticking is still going but with the power cord unplugged, the ticking stops. Any clues?
Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: opman on April 16, 2012, 08:54:37 PM Sounds like a short in the distribution box. Is that what is ticking?
Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: IGTfanman777 on April 16, 2012, 08:56:36 PM Ticking from box from photo above yes
Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: opman on April 16, 2012, 09:03:30 PM unplug the the plug with gray wires and ribbon cable from the box. Turn machine on to see if it is still ticking. If it is still ticking replace it with another. If you can't find a replacement let me know and I can probably find one for you.
Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: IGTfanman777 on April 16, 2012, 09:08:00 PM Ribbon and comm wires unplugged. Yes still ticks when i plug chord back in tto wall. Whole box needs replacing? How much is a used one?

Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: IGTfanman777 on April 16, 2012, 09:40:34 PM Ok i will contact him regarding this part in side the distribution box. Its on the very left side in box. The fuse sits just to the right of it.
Thats where the ticking is coming from. Dont want to touch anything when its powered on but its definitly coming from that board inside in very left side. Title: Re: vision s2000 "video display comm failure" at bootup. help! Post by: opman on April 16, 2012, 09:52:17 PM replace the whole box
