my right speaker shut off of my s2k and wouldnt come back on??????

[staz]

i checked the wires and played it for a while then it came back on and went off again then came back on and stayed on......whats  causing that?

[Yoeddy1]

Amp?  Speaker?  Connections?

how can i tell the amp? and it looks like all 3 speakers are running in the back panel some where? i suck when it comes to wires....lol i was thinking could it be my soundboard? now its working fine ....... it basiclly went out right after a jacpot hit and started playing jackpot music.......the base speaker and the left speaker stayed on while the right one had no sound comming out of it all not even a hiss......

[Yoeddy1]

Check menus to make sure it's still set to stereo in sound options.  From there, swap with another MML2 board if you have one.  After that, swapping amps might be worth a shot.  Did you power cycle the machine?

Staz  just switch the two top speaker wires and see if the problem stays with the Right speaker or moves over to the Left one.

[staz]

i will try that too.....

[Buzz]

Staz The simple way to fix it is, don't hit anymore Jack Pots !!

[staz]

lol that wouldnt be no fun not hitting jackpots........im also thinking the machine set on volume 5 with no resisters and it was running all day for like 10 hours and its very humid in my room, could that cause a speaker to shut off?? now its working......... ill see how it goes tomm....

Sounds like a partly broken wire inside the wire covering of that particular speaker -
causing the intermittent speaker problems? 

Swapping left with right speaker connectors would isolate the suspect speaker.

okay came to the conclusion my speaker only goes out if the machine hits a jackpot and plays the jackpot music.... when it went out this morning again, i swapped it with the left speaker the right speaker works.....

Staz,

I was thinking about this last night and your post seems to jive with my thoughts.... It is quite possible that the Jackpot Music is only programmed as mono, but the other music/sounds are programmed as stereo. The fact that it comes thru the left speaker supports this as that is the speaker that is traditionally the mono only speaker. I truely feel that there is nothing wrong with your machine.

Skipper I think you or I would pull the sound simm and clean the contacts just to make sure. 

Staz are you trying to tell us you hit TWO Jackpots in two days ???     

[stayouttadabunker]

Staz,
Have you looked at the sounds settings for your machine?
Maybe there's an option for your Bonus round sounds to switch it between mono & stereo or enhanced sounds?
Play the different sound bytes using the sound tests and see what's happening...

[Buzz]

Bunker  I think stereo/mono  is a whole lot like the Gal you dated, she's either pregnant or she ain't. No such thing as almost pregnant.   You have stereo or you don't. In IO test, Staz can test the  different sounds.

 ( I would clean the simm )  but what the hell do I know, if I was smart I wouldn't own a slot machine.   

[cowboygames]

My Cleo does this occassionally. It's either that certain sounds aren't in stereo, the MPH doesn't always process correctly or the simm might be going bad. I've cleaned it a couple times and it still does it so I've learned to live with it

[staz]

well im thinking its def not the jackpot music being in monno..... i had this machine over a year now and it payed out over 3 million in jackpots and this is the first time i encountered this problem......so i ruled out, it ant the speaker, it ant the machine being on mono, so my last 2 options it has to be either the amp board goin bad or it was the simm card...whats weird is i have 2 computer boards with the same chips and simm in them....this morning when it shut out i put in my old board and the speaker worked..... now on my new board i reseated the simm card and it looks like its working fine so far..... so why would a simm card make one speaker go out????? on the other hand it could be the amp so i think im gonna replace the amp board to be safe if i can figure out how to replace it.....and buzz ya it does hit jackpots every day at 75 or 150 a pull anything over 1195 it hits......

[staz]

i hit like 3 jackpots just now and let the music play for like 15 minutes and it seems to be working fine now.... maybe it was the simm that needed to be reseated..... why would a simm card have an affect on a speaker to shut it off completely....... well i think im gonna buy a amp board to have as a spare part.... inleast this was a learning experience again.....now i no where the speakers plug into..... thanks guys for all your help 

[stayouttadabunker]

The contacts on the MMLBII are made of spring loaded steel tabs I think...
( I haven't really ever peered at them closely)
When you pulled the card and reseated it back into the board - you've basically changed
the tabs contact position ever so slightly just so that there is "fresh" contact points -
thus allowing electrical current and data signals to run through
the touched points  exponentially more efficiently...

Of course, If you believe a word of what I've just said - I have some very old beads
that has been passed down throughout generations of my family and
would like to trade it back to you for Manhattan....
But since we've never given you a title for it  - past rent will be sufficient...

[staz]

it makes a little sense but why would a simm card shut down a speaker completely where you dont even here a hiss out of the speaker all of a sudden.... .....very strange.....

[staz]

so from what im understanding its 99.9% the amp...... not the simm card.....

[stayouttadabunker]

We don't really know yet.
You need to leave it on...let the machine really heat up and see if the problem comes back.
BY the way...what is the temperature in your topbox after the machine is on like---6 hours?
Throw a kitchen thermometer in there and post back some results and time length the machine is on.
It's a lot warmer down in your neck of the woods nowadays than... lets say...2 months ago?
