Thanks!  I'll post back what happens once the MPU gets power with it.

Alright idyle, I swung in on my lunch break today and swapped out the cord.  I had to bent the pins on the board a tad bit to make good contact.  It powered right up with a bad battery error.  I just happened to have one of those batteries on me so I installed it on the board.  Once that was done, the game fired right up and booted after I cleared out the CMOS error code. 

I do have one more issue however.  I attempted to put in coins to start a game, but they went right trough the coin comparitor and did not add any credits.  I noticed a green LED on the back of the comparitor, which was off.  I am assuming this a power indicator for the comparitor?

If so, I am guessing its either a power problem to the comparitor or the comparitor is dead. 


Once again, thank you for the replacement cord and the help,
Brandon

Did the coins end up in the hopper or in the tray?  If they ended up in the hopper, then you have an optics issue.  The comparitor in these machines do not signal the system to credit a coin, the optics do.  If the coin passes the optics in the correct fashion.  If your coins end up in the tray, then you may have a comparitor issue.  If they end up in the coin hopper, then you probably have a coin optic issue.

Also, FYI - the LED on the comparitor will not light up while the door is open - so it maybe ok if you didn't see the LED on.  We just had a thread that talked all about testing the comparitor - check this out http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=3027.0.

Alright thanks, I'll give it a look.  The coin did end up in the tray.

Just a quick one, is there a coin in the comparitor?

The coin in the coin comparitor must be the same type you're trying to pass through...
I'm thinking the coin in the comparitor might be slightly larger than the one you're trying to pass... Scratch Head

Also, if you're using mixed tokens, they might all be the same size but the metallic makeup may be different and some may not be recognized. Make sure to minimize comparitor sensitivity.

ding ding! tacman had the correct answer!  All of the tokens were the same size, but I found a few tokens that matched and only tried those.  Worked like a charm! 

I played the game for about 30-45 minutes and everything worked great.  I'm definately going to have to get my own slot.  I hit a couple of nice jackpots and made me wish I was in a real casino though.  The game was acting a bit flaky so I polished the pins on the board(where the power harness plugs in to) with mothers mag polish and that cleared up the power problems.

Once again, thank you all for the help.  I guess I'm going to go ahead and start looking for my own slot.  I'm not sure which brand I should get.  I know I definately like the reel slots better than video slots.

Oh NO!! Another slot addict is born. bust gut laughing bust gut laughing bust gut laughing  Don't forget our two axioms:

1. Slots are like potato chips: you can't own just one.
2. Never leave your slot machines alone in the dark. They multiply. Tongue Out


I would look at an IGT S2000 or a Williams Dotmation. Just my opinion.

Hi Brandon

I am correct there should be an I/O card on the door just below the display theres a capacitor that goes bad on them  replace the capacitor or just swap the board out with one from a working machine if it does not work send a picture of the door so i can see with model it is

best of luck
mehen

Can someone show me a picture of where and how to get to this capacitor? I think this maybe the problem with a machine that I'm working on.
