Newbie needs help with Barcrest rocky club machine
Hi guys, just bought my first fruit machine. Heard bad stories about this particular model but I have loved it ever since I played it in University. I have bought one that for some strange reason has a lot of lights that aren't working, roughly about 50. The bloke I bought it off was very helpful and explained that the bulbs are all in tact and he believes it to be a wiring fault. He had already changed one of the boards believing that would be at fault but it hasn't helped. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing it?
I will try and upload a pic of which lights aren't working but you may be able to see the lights in this link:

not really an easy fix tbh.
what you will have to do is work out which bulbs have the problem, hopefully they will share a wire.
then you need to trace the wire or wires back to the mux board and look for a break in the wire.
thing that is concerning is the 50 bulb thing, theres not than many more lamps on the machine is there?
with a wiring fault i would expect maybe 8 lamps out, not 50..
dunno whats going on there...

You need some bits to try.I doubt a wire would send 50 lamps out.First check power supply and fuses,it could be the mpu at fault even though it works,you need an mpu and supply known working to eliminate from suspect list.Thats all you can do,narrow it down till you find the problem.This can be costly which is why it was sold in the first place
