Hi everyone i hope someone can help me, I just got myself a Universal Pacific Poker Machine Matador 8443 it was not working when i got it but took the gamble that it can be fixed, it lights up but nothing displays on the front LEDs and makes a crackle sound out of the speaker about a min later the hopper starts making noise and thats about it, iv read everything i can find on this forum about this machine but nothing has worked yet if anyone can help or throw a few ideas my way it would be very much appreciated, iv attached some pics too

Thanks

I'm not familiar with the 5-reelers.
First question I have is; What country are you located in?
Reason I ask is the power supply has a 240v outlet suggesting a country other than the United States.
If you are in the U.S. than you need to see if the power supply is setup for 240 or 110.

Hi uniman thanks for your reply sorry i forgot to add my country im located in Australia

Ok, then your machine should be 240v. First thing to do is check the power supply outputs. Not sure if they match the U.S. power supply outputs, but I'm betting they do.
Also not sure if Aussie power supplies have the noise filter installed. The noise filter is a common cause of problems here in the U.S. and I recommend removing them.

Here is a link that might help,
