trouble with a s plus

[slotmani]

S plus slot, I opened the door and then shut it to play and game would not start lost display and the reels move about 1/4 of a inch? Tried to reset it, nothing. Game was playing fine before? Any ideas? THANKS

with the door open are the reels stiff or do they spin easily?
if they spin easily it's usually the connection on the motherboard from the power supply.

If you power off and on, does it go though the "maiden" spin? And...is your latch latched? Sometimes you really have to slam the latch down to make sure the optics line up.

No the game does not go into a spin when you put it on ? the reels move a 1/4 of a inch and no display lites up?

[shortrackskater]

Are any numbers displaying anywhere? If so, what are they?

[slotmani]

no dispaly at all, they were working fine before?

I'm only a "new" pro here...but I'd pull the plug out, open the door and look carefully everywhere for any plugs half in/out. Check all the fuses in the back. Do you have a DVM to check for continuity? You usually can look at them but sometimes it's best to actually measure... While you're there, make sure the MPU is seated properly. It lifts up and out...just press down (toward the bottom of the machine) on the top of it.

Thanks I have tried that with no luck, tried reset button and key also no luck , really don't know what to try next?

Connector from power supply to motherboard (board on floor behind hopper) most likley has bad burnt connector. This was stated a few posts earlier. Very good chance that is it...ususlly is and is a common problem. Atleast tell us if you looked at it. Clean it up tighten connector and reseat does the trick. If too burnt you have to replace it...but most times cleaning and reseating will do the trick. There is a thread here for this.

I will try that tomorrow , it just seems strange that the game was fine and stopped all of a sudden? But I will check all conections and see what I come up with.

That is exactly what it will do..if you goto the splus section it is one of the first few topics. Again...VERY common problem. Dead center in picture you can see white connector with burn mark.

Thanks for the help every one, I found the problem it was a wire that came lose on the change lite button switch a double green wire sperated and caused the problem not letting the ciruit through, Now I have to find why the slot dose not work when I pull the handle, the handle switch is good?
