hi im completely new at this so sorry if i ask a stupid question but all ive tried atm is changing power leads as i only got one key with it so need to have the other locks drilled out so i can put some new ones in so i can get into it i bought this from a auction with thinking if it dont work i have a uncle thats worked with fruit machines most of his life but ive asked him for help and ive not heard anything from him but back on subject my problem is i cant see any lights on it at all and it doesnt do anything when plugged in so can someone start off by throwing some ideas out so maybe i can have a crack at getting this working?

Here's a few ideas. A) make sure your power supply is actually on, open the bottom door and look to see if you power supply is on, making any noise, has a light etc etc..
Let us know..
Secondly look at the motherboard on the inside of the top door. Around the middle area. Male sure all connectors are in place an seated correctly.. When turned on, are there any lights on the board, any green LEDs, any green LEDs not lit or any red LEDs.
Again, let us know..
Thirdly, should've really been my first question, what machine is it, is it newer or older.. Any idea of the maker, the technology used, eg mpu4, mpu5, mpu6, scorp 4, scorp 5

no board inside!  though you could get a new motherboard for say £20, your then face with the correct rom card.

 

cheaper as you say to bin and get a new one.
