anyone out there can tell me,,,how do you even get to the lamp on the panel on an s2000,,,igt,,,,,my play 5 credits lamp is out and before i  get the sawzall out,,,,,,how do you get to the lamp,,,,i thought id ask ,,cause usually i break something,,then i ask,,and end up sayin something like,,,ooooo,,,,yaaa,,that makes sense,,,,i know this is simple,,,,,,but nothin looked obviuos,,,,thanks,,,,,,

No Saws-All needed just yet, just reach up from inside the door and take a look first. The bulb/lamp housing locks into the button housing on the underside of the button deck. Grab the housing that the bulb sits in and turn/rotate it about a 1/4 turn (I don't know which direction, try counter clockwise and if that doesnt work, then try clockwise!) and it will release and come out. Then you can replace the bulb and re-install it.

Roz, some of those are snap-lock and don't come out that way. Easiest way I've found is to pop the lens off the top of the button with a narrow screwdriver tip then use a forceps or piece of shrink tubing to pull the bulb out and put the new one in

ok,,,,,,,i just got in there,,,that switch /lamp assembly has 2 wires not connected,,i dont know it they fell off or someone who knows alot more then i do,,took em off,,,,one is red  the other one is blue<i think..looks mostly blue>....if i hook em back up...and reverse them,,is that gonna do any damage,,cause im not sure which went where,,,,,and,,,,say theres a short in the lamp assembly...could happen,,will that cause any catastrophic damage,,??....what to do,,,what to do,,,??///

correction on my last post..........theres 2 wires turned back  a red   and a blue with a yellow stripe,,,,,,theres only one spare terminal lug on the switch.......theres already a blue with yellow stripe on the switch,,,,theres tie raps every quarter inch......i dont wanna disturb this yet,,,,,,so i dont know if the blue with yellow stripe thats on there is the other end of the one hanging in space,,,,,,the only spare terminal is..looking from the back,,the one to the left,,,the upper one,,,,,sorry for the confusion,,,,

You actually have two different things going on there. The micro switch that registers your selection when you push the button has three connections with two being used. If the switch works other than the light not turning on then don't mess with the micro switch. You also have two spade connections, one on either side of the micro switch, and they are for the light. The one you can see should have a red wire plugged into it and the one on the back side of the micro switch gets the blue wire. That's how mine's set up anyway

somehow the post i just wrote flew off into the cloud,,,,,anyway,,,you are exactly right,,,,the spare lug is on the microswitch,,not the light ,,,,,,the two extra wires that are there must be for some option or button arrangement this machine doesnt have,,,,so i insulated them and moved them outta the way,,,,where they wont try and touch something they shouldnt,,,,,so im back to the lamp thing,,no luck seperating the assembly,,,,im not big on forcing plastic,,,my question,,if i go the remove the lens cap route,,am i removing just the clear plastic part,,,,,,or that part and the black plastic around it as well.....thanks so much for the info,,it really took the mystery out,,,,

Just the clear lens cap part. The black part is the switch base

k  thanks
