Hi,

Can anyone help with a problem on a barcrest up n over machine?

thanks

Hi,

It might help if you are able to tell us the problem then you are boung to get a bit more of a response as there are endless amounts of things that could be wrong with it :P
well be happy to help if we can im sure


cheers

LOL....ok

i have an up n over barcrest.

I have a problem that it works fine, except none of the bulbs are lit.

Everything else seems ok.

Also when you switch it on and press the start button, it gives u 50 credits, is this normal?

Thanks

well firstly with the bulbs id say just get some new ones as they are most likely just dead..

as for the credit thing maybe you have it on free play?

sure someone will have a better knowledge of the inners of machines to be able to hit your problem on the head.

none of the bulbs work tho?

Is it the same as xmas lights, if one bulb goes it takes out the whole lighting circuit?
Someone suggested it may be a MUX 5 problem?

umm maybe it needs a new fuse if all are out.

as i said someone on here will definatly know more about it than me so give all suggestions a whirl

As far as i know they aren't all connected in an xmas tree style circuit, so i think you might have a major problem. The 50 credits sounds like its on free play. Have you got any keys in the machine?

Matt

the 34v leds are off!

i have keys to doors but no refil key.

how do i turn off free play?

I also notice that when i put coins in and i collect, i cant hear the hopper pumping out the coins?

Is that a fault or normal on freeplay?

thansk

There could be three ways the free play is activated;

1st- is if the bottom door is not properly shut, there is a little switch that gets pressed when the door is closed which initalizes the machine into normal play.

2nd- if the top door is not shut properly, or if the lock is broken and the part which goes into the lock is broken.

3rd- if the leads which connect to the main part (MPU unit) is not connected properly which means it cannot go into normal play.

I'd go with coaster, cash door's open (or the switch has been taken off so the machine thinks it's open).

That's also why your hoppers appear not to be working, it won't pay out in free play mode

Ok cool, ill try that.

Also ive ordered new bulbs so i will try them when i get em.

Also need a couple of new fuse to rule that out too.

Thanks guys! - will keep u posted!

P.S Could anyone tell me the wattage fuses i need for the power supply? as some of mine are missing!

Thanks

This should be in tech forum, the psu has the amperage of each fuse stamped on top.... Normaly lamp use is 10amp 20mm
