If the bezel lit before in self test and now doesn't, I would be checking all of the cables. The BV only need 12V to power up, but the other signal lines run through the BV power supply. Might try swapping that too.

If you are going to get a set chip, you might as well get a clear chip too. While a clear should be a last resort, sometimes it does fix odd problems.

I think I will try the power supply swap...I think I might take a few pics also .....maybe trained eyes may spot something. Thanks

Pictures always help.

here is a few pics

hopefully this will help

Well, there is your problem. There is no BV.  


What is plugged into the second plug from the front on the BV head?

[twizz63]

the lighted bezel.....i tried to take a mini movie so you could here it cycle but couldnt load that type of file.

Here are a couple I made.

this is a shot of transport from below and you can see tabs I believe.

That looks fine.

I added a third video to the link above that shows what a bad cash can optics would sound like. It 'almost' sounds normal.

Have you tried swapping BV power supplies yet?

For future reference, just use Youtube and put the url directly in your post.

Thanks for the you tube tip stat.....and poppo I definitely don't have that clunking noise. I guess I will try the power supply swap....I was able to light bezel in self test again.....I might give you tube a try with video. thanks guys

....I was able to light bezel in self test again.....

Something sure seems intermittent. When you swap the power supply, check all of the connectors really good. Including J6 on the motherboard.

i UPLOADED ONE ON YOU TUBE

[twizz63]

OOPS  THAT DIDNT WORK

Awesome video clip twizz!  

It's a little shaky and it's a darn good thing you're not a plastic surgeon...
or the patients will look like the Mummy all the time...

Well, it sounds right. So can you list again just what you have swapped (and from where to where).

[twizz63]

thanks guys

Ok ..I switched transport, head from working roundtop.  I have not tried the power supply yet. I did try this cash can in the roundtop which worked fine. I do get the bezel to light in self test......which seems odd to me that it would not light at startup.

Self test is just that - it is only checking to see if the bezel will light. Eveything else has to be working for the BV to turn it on. We already determined that the BV should be enabled.

Out of curiosity, what is yout hopper and BV limit set to? If it is set to like 0, the BV will never enable.

Max Hopper Pay <7>   Programmable only if DIP switches 1 and 2 are set for self test selection (on position); otherwise, this page is for display purposes only.  Determines the maximum number of coins that may be paid out of the hopper.

Bill Acceptor
Credit Limit <7>   Determines the maximum amount of credits that can be accumulated before the bill acceptor is disabled.  The limit must be less than the max hopper size or $2,500, whichever is less.

I  moved the dip's to 600 on hopper and i will check the other now.

[twizz63]

I am trying to understand these self test procedures but when i press the self test two times it says 0 in coins played and 63 in winner paid. is that normal?

It 'could be'. But don't worry about that setting for now. Just keep pressing the self test until you get a 7 in the coins played. The numbers on the coins paid will be the hopper limit. The next press of the self test should still have a 7 in the coins played, but will be the credit limit will be displayed.  (this is for a SP731 that you said you had).
