Title: Converting from non-backlit to backlit
Post by: laneman on June 22, 2012, 05:07:08 PM
I converted a 5 reel S2000 from non-backlit to backlit and have no backlit lights.Works fine besides that.
I attached the connections.This harness is different from the one thats in my other 5 reel S2000.

Im no expert, by any means, but dont you have to change the i/o board and the reel control board as well?  I know the 3 and 5 reel boards are different. 3 reel has 2 white molex plugs at one end, the 5 reel has a black and a white....

See that 6 pin white molex connector in the upper left corner.  That is your power connector.  You need to connect power to the board in order for it to light up.

I figured it out...

I have two 5 reel S2000's so I started swapping parts with the working one.Swapped the controller ect.When I swapped the working machine's harness with the non working one,it started working.I have two harnesses with different connectors.

Heres the non working one....

The ends shown connect to the controller board.

Your harness with the black plug is for LED backlit reels and the one with all white is for incandescent. Not interchangeable
