I know this has to of been covered, but i can not find it. Duh!

I have a s-2000 upright without back lit reels, I want to add them.

I have located the reels, the harness for the reels, the correct 3 reel backlight controller, and the harness from the controller to the machine. Do I need anything else?

And where do you mount the backlit controller board, and where does it plug into the machine?

Backlight controller mounts to the back wall of the cabinet behind and to the upper right of the hopper. There is a plug that goes from it to the cabinet I/O board. a plug from the reels to the backlight controller. A plug from the reels to the motherboard. And you'll find a power plug for the backlight controller bundled in with the wire harness that passes just above where the backlight controller is mounted to the back of the cabinet

LOL! Seems easier because they're a lot more fun applause Is your backlight controller coming with the mounting plate and cover? And you might locate and pull out the power cord for that while you're waiting. Once I had all the stuff together it took me about 15 minutes to get it put in and get it working. You can have the reel strips on the backlight reels and the reel harness switched out ahead to save a little time. What machine are you putting them on?

Tim the one thing I ran into the other day is, backlit reels that have light bulbs use a different controller than reels that use a LED panel. ( The Skipper posted this little fact ) I would say the odds are you will not have the LED panel lights, out of 45 S 2000's I only had one with panel lights. ( but I only had one 4 reel machine )

In case you missed the thread or have forgotten let me WARN you not to install LED lights behind the coin ledgen ( center reel glass ) or as a BV bezel light. If you do smoke will appear. Trust me been there done that. Besides they look like crap.

They are going into an upright s2000 9". All the stuff is coming from the same person/machine. Reels have bulbs. And yes the controller has the plate and cover. Thanks and no to the leds!

Coors,
Do you know the part number of your back light controller?
I can search and see what the other connector is for?

Off hand however,
you think it's for the LED lights around a bonus reel ?

The bonus reel led board has a 24 pin molex so I don't think so.

upper left is power, upper middle is from the reels and lower left is to the I/O board. Don't beleive you'll use the upper right, but I'm not at home to look at one

They seem to be a very common plug on slotmachines. Oddly enough they come in both genders and can be found hanging around all over the inside of an S2000 cabinet 3 Stooges

With out rereading this whole thread. The IO that the backlit plugs into is on the outside of the MPU housing ( for a better word )
