Title: IGT Fortune I (I think) has issues
Post by: xanadu on February 14, 2013, 09:27:53 PM
I just picked this machine up today. On power up the monitor is garbled, flashing cards and random graphics.  At the same time the coin counter and coin mech relays are going nuts and cycling rapidly.  I'm thinking there may be a voltage issue somewhere?

Is there a manual for this machine available online?

Just the big 5 electrolytic ones, or everything including the 20+ little ceramic ones as well?

Thanks!

I have the same machine as you. My screen was all garbled up like yours when I got it. I removed all the wired connections and re connected them and it started working.

I have one of these slots and got to a point where I could not fix it.   So I sent my board to this guy and he was able to fix it.

Ok, back to working on this game after a long hiatus.

I recapped the game board and that resolved the garbled graphics/rebooting issue, it now powers up and is 100% stable.

The monitor needs some work as it is scrolling, but I'll tackle that later.  It appears that the interface board isn't responding, the game powers up and comes up to the "Insert coin" screen but won't take any inputs from any source.  No coin up, none of the user buttons, jackpot reset switches or anything will respond.  As an aside, the coin reject relay is not being energized.


I checked the voltage to interface board (D Conn_6, pin 1) and (E_Conn_6, pin 1) and they appear to be correct.

What is this small relay board for?  Most of the wires have been cut or disconnected:

This is a jack pot relay used to set off the prog-sign and coin up the controller box ... say like a con1 coin in/jp relay..   :71- :71-
