as said above picture 3 is the datapack
it is a wired midas slave, gamestec uses/used these with their midas system before it all went wireless.
this is the plug it uses to connect to the board (circled in red, black plug, grey wire) as mentioned above, make sure its in correctly.
if thats ok, then next likely cause is that the slave memory is full.
look where i have circled on your image.
underneath the wires you should see two pins with a little red or black jumper connector.
if you taker this jumper off it disconnects the live from the battery.....
disconnect the slave from the machine and take the jumper off., leave it for a minute or two.
this will clear the data from the slave.
connect it all back up and hopefully it will start working again..
if you ant find the jumper, then you can short the battery out with a bit of wire, effectively does the same thing

are the door switches working properly or are they taped up/ disconnected?
you have a couple of options.
either source a replacement data unit or source some standard eeproms , this will allow the machine to function without a datapack.
the question is .. where would you get them lol
also worth noting the midas slave unit you have is prone to dry joints.
if you are handy with a soldering iron (or know of someone who is), could have a look at the pcb and maybe resolder some of it..
