Welcome to the site! 

 

Other than having played Megatouch games, I'm not really familiar with the insides of them.  Hopefully someone will chime in soon to help you.  In the mean time, you may want to go ahead and post pictures of what you're talking about to potentially help someone help you with your machine.

You can post up to two pictures per post when you attach them to the post using the forum's software.  You may create as many replies in the thread as you need if you would like to post more than two pictures.

 

Good luck with your machine.

try going in to test  and setting it on free play and you can also turn up the sound there   test button is behind cash box

[hughesfinance1]

[slotsteve]

[hughesfinance1]

the button dont do anything as i am stuck with the plug on end where it goes as there is a place on i/o board that it fits and there is also a small square board it will go in with a 5 pin din plug on it putting numbers in google there is a keyboard emulator bult in if the lead is plugged into i.o board it wont power

[slotsteve]

If your pictures won't upload here, chances are that they're too large to be accepted by the forum software. Here's a way around that:

 An alternate method of adding pictures is:

Visit http://www.tinypic.com/ , click the "Browse..." button to locate a picture on your computer, and then from the "Resize" drop-down box where it says "Default", change that to "15" Screen (800x600)".  Then click the big green "Upload Now" button and you'll be set.

Once the picture uploads, just copy the text labeled "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" and paste it into a post here.

[slotsteve]

there should be a place on main board where you plug in a key b or mouse they were use on most megas    your has a hard drive right?

[hughesfinance1]

Yes has hard drive I have 2 main boards for this the one where that plugs in don't have the serial number sticker on the other does so will that send info to credit meter
