Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: FORDSBS on May 01, 2012, 07:33:31 PM Start by checking all you connections. Make sure there are no lose connections
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 01, 2012, 07:36:15 PM checked the connections everything looks fit.....
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: DannyG804 on May 01, 2012, 07:44:11 PM Maybe your backlit controller is bad. If you have multiple machines, put your reels from the original problem machine into a different one.
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 01, 2012, 07:45:32 PM could a backlite controller just go bad ? i only have one s2k...
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: DannyG804 on May 01, 2012, 07:53:34 PM It could, yes. It appears you're not getting any juice to the reel bulbs. Important question = are the bulbs dim when idle????
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: idesign on May 01, 2012, 07:54:04 PM could a backlite controller just go bad ? i only have one s2k... Yes, all the time Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 01, 2012, 07:57:04 PM im getting no dimness at all on any of the reels on idle heres a pic of my controller i think thats the controller.....
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: DannyG804 on May 01, 2012, 08:03:35 PM Therefore no power to the reel lights. I'm sure someone else with more experience can stamp my opinion. Wish you had another controller to test with...
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 01, 2012, 08:07:55 PM does anyone have a extra board for sale? im thinking thats my alternative to swap out controller boards....
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: DannyG804 on May 01, 2012, 08:11:50 PM I doubt it would be hard to find one. Just post an ad in the classifieds... Staz, have you noticed that at the casinos that more than half of the s2000's have a reel light problem??, :30-
It annoys the crap outta me! Of course unless I have a nice hit - then who gives a rats ass right?!!? Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: idesign on May 01, 2012, 08:14:30 PM does anyone have a extra board for sale? im thinking thats my alternative to swap out controller boards.... If the machine is a 3 reel I have an extra I can part with. PM me. Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 01, 2012, 08:22:40 PM yes its a 3 reel.....what would cuase the lights not to get any juice? the machine didnt even notice that in i/o test mode i tested the lights and it thinks the lights work? allways something with this machine....
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 02, 2012, 11:32:14 AM it feels weird playing my machine with no backlitereels lol.... im waiting on a backlite controller to swap out..... hopefully thats the problem if it isnt any suggestion what else it can be?
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 04, 2012, 05:54:10 PM before i reinstall the new bc i wanna make sure it will work cuz the one in there looks different.... 1st pic is the one i just took out and 2nd pic is the one i just got to put in....is there a difference?????????? what a pain in the ass to take out :279-

Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: DannyG804 on May 05, 2012, 04:49:53 PM Glad to hear you're backlit again. Now take a picture when you land all three 5X pay symbols! :88-
Danny Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 05, 2012, 08:59:29 PM i just turned my machine on and again the backlite lights arnt working..... :37- :37- :37- what the hell is happining...... i replaced the controller board yesterday and they worked all night now today i get no dim lights nothing!!!! what do i do now???????
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: cowboygames on May 05, 2012, 09:15:13 PM Staz, any chance you're using LED bulbs in those reels? Or anything other than the origionals? I ask because I burned a controller trying to switch to LEDs
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 05, 2012, 09:52:32 PM im using reg bulbs
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 05, 2012, 09:55:09 PM if the controller was bad it wouldnt of worked all day yesterday..... i even swapped mpu boards still no lights i cant think of what can be cuaseing this?
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: cowboygames on May 05, 2012, 11:05:16 PM Faulty cabinet IO card maybe? Or a short in the reel harness/reel assemblies is a possibility also I suppose
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 05, 2012, 11:58:32 PM after i took it appart and put it back together now it works again?? very strange.....
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: cowboygames on May 06, 2012, 12:23:46 AM Sounds like a harness wire or plug issue
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 06, 2012, 12:31:46 AM i was affraid of that.... it has to be a royal pain in the ark to take the old harness out and replace it.......so i think my next move is to get a new harness...... if problem continues.....
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: coorslight115 on May 06, 2012, 12:33:36 AM while we are all here and on the same page...does anyone have the pinout for the harness that goes from the B/L controller board to the Cab i/o. Might come in handy here and I could use it too....sorry to hijack the thread.
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: cowboygames on May 06, 2012, 12:34:54 AM That's what I was thinking. It's not that bad to swap though. Six plugs and 3 clips after you get the reels out, could be worse...
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 06, 2012, 12:45:10 AM look at the disaster of wires lol where do i begin.....
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: stayouttadabunker on May 06, 2012, 01:25:35 AM Check the ones that go from your bc to the reels.
Wiggle the harness with the power on and watch the reel lamps. Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 06, 2012, 01:36:42 AM i wiggled them nothing..... could it be the bc ant getting power at times :103-
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: stayouttadabunker on May 06, 2012, 01:42:01 AM Could be an intermittent P.S. too.
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 06, 2012, 01:44:44 AM what does that mean?
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: stayouttadabunker on May 06, 2012, 01:47:15 AM Power Supply could be going bad...
I still think it's just a loose receptor pin in the harness though. You seemed to get life into the lamps after every bc change. I'd be wiggling those wires too - while watching the reel lamps. Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: cowboygames on May 06, 2012, 01:50:56 AM If it was a bad PS he'd lose more than backlit reals I would think. Bunker's probably on the right track
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 06, 2012, 01:54:34 AM which plugs on the bc controll the lamps?
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: stayouttadabunker on May 06, 2012, 02:00:48 AM The 14-pin and 10-pin Molexes on the backlit control board control and power the lamps.
If you pull them off the board, the game works fine - just no lights though... :5- The 14-pin Molex powers the lamps for reels 1-3. The 10-pin Molex powers reel lamps 4-5 on a 5 reel machine. Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 06, 2012, 02:11:06 AM whats the 4 pin molex for?
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: stayouttadabunker on May 06, 2012, 02:14:50 AM Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 06, 2012, 02:21:11 AM so pretty much my problem could be either molex harness..... i might have to get a whole new harness
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: stayouttadabunker on May 06, 2012, 02:28:08 AM so pretty much my problem could be either molex harness..... i might have to get a whole new harness Hardly...all you need to do is find the cuplrit receptor pin and bend it with a needle. This way it will "grab" a male pin better. Have you've NEVER seen all the posts on "De-Oxit" de-oxidzation spray ? Go to Radio Schnack and get yourself a can of it and spray it into the Molexes. Let dry then wiggle the plugs back on. For now though - you can get by by pushing the wires from the back of the connectors into the housings. I'll bet you pulled one out of the connector housing ever so slightly. Most people pull on the wires instead of the sides of the housings then report that something's not working. In your case, somebody could have pulled on the wires a bit and wiggle one loose. Since you're the only in there - my guess is that it's you.... :72- Since you have a 3 reel game...I'd really inspect :209- the heck out of the 10-pin Molex. Last week we had a guy crying all week his machine wasn't working when it turned out that he was messing around with it and bent a pin. Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: staz on May 06, 2012, 12:26:12 PM well its working so far so ill leave it alone till it happens again...... i was trying to understand what everything does.... the harness that connects to the io what does that do? also what does this part do? im learning slowly lol.....
Title: Re: BACKLITE LIGHTS ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING Post by: cowboygames on May 06, 2012, 02:59:04 PM The harness to the cabinet IO is the interface to the mpu and controls the backlighting. Your picture is the mpu to sas interface I think
