Bally 5000 HOPPER BOARD troubleshooting ????

[coinopshop]

 Helllo again,

 Just about have my BLACK/GOLD Bally 5000 going. I have a hopper pcb problem ( well two actually ).

 Hopper pcb# 1 - green led stays lit, nothing happens to dispense any coinage.
 Hopper pcb #2 - No leds lit, does nothing when coinage should be dispensed.

 HOPPER IS 100% WORKING CONDITION ( as checked in another 5000 ).

 Is there a thread on Bally hopper pcb repairs, or do these symptoms sound familiar to anyone ?

 Thanks,
 Dave.

 UPDATE:

 Found Q8 to be shorted on the hopper pcb. Replaced and now when a winner should be dispensed, the green led lights for a second and the yellow led comes on now ( Some type of over-voltage protection circuit is kicking in ). Hopper still won't dispense. Also changed Q7 and U5....no luck.
