Bell Fruit Snakes and Ladders turning itself off

[dixie]

Only had this Machine a week never owned one before, Do Machines have a cut out feature? It has started to turn itself off and on or sometimes it does not switch back on. sometimes it can be every 5-20 mins other times it can go a couple of hours. Cannot understand how it would be feasable for a machine to do this in a business atmosphere.


There is 4 green lights on board but one of them is dimmer than the others the one ---* star indicates the dimmer one and there is a red light all lights are static and not flashing.

The Machine looks like it is powered off but the power switch inside the machine remains lit. If I switch this off and wait a couple of mins and switch back on it boots up again?? Any ideas?

hi, i have a bellfruit scorpion 4 too got it from advance leasure off e-bay.had it 3wks and mine doing same thing,it acts like a door switch has been activated then loads up to insert coins then resets again.so ive bought a load of door switches and replaced all of em but still does it.gone through all wiring,so iam puzzled,could it be power unit?have had a power unit lit before but it didnt crank up the machine till i replaced it with this one..HELP!!!

most resets are power related

think ive fixed it..there was a white wire running along top just above left corner of the scorpion board where it had a bad BEND on it,as tho its been trapped by board cover at some point or something.anyway i straightened it and machine working fine now..hope this helps..

We usually find that the power supply is at fault and changing it rectifies the problem.
