Hi all,

 

This is driving me mad, hopefully someone can help.

 

I'm an engineer and fix new machines all day long, but I'm stumped with this one!

 

The machine is one of my own, it's a"Round The Bend" in a horizon cab, Extreme Gaming - MPU5.

 

The machine randomly came up with this error.  I changed the MPU board twice, changed the coin mech (SR5) changed the hopper, changed the coin mech loom and the other hopper has it's own loom, changed the power supply.  No matter what I try, it just boots up saying Hopper missing.  The existing set up has the power to the hopper via the three cabled white connector into 'Payout' and the coin mech is wired into the purple vendbus connector.  I took these out and wired a coin mech in (plugged into coin mech input on MPU5) and as mentioned, the other hopper I had plugged straight into the payout tab.  The three pin white payout connector has the 3 black cables crimped in correctly in the right socket, but this shouldn't matter when another hopper is connected via it's own loom.

 

I don't know what else to try, any other suggestions welcome before it get's stripped down for parts!

 

Cheers

If you have replaced all the above then the only thing I can think that is common is the Red power loom (Barbus loom is it called?) that supplies power via the Mpu to the hopper. If it is a sporadic fault it may be a broken wire in this.

Thanks Mavroz, will look at this later...

Found the fault, one of the cables into the payout connector was in the wrong socket. I stripped the cable back and rebooted touching each connector, eventually it worked. My own fault as there are different layouts for payout connector. Happy days...

Glad you are sorted.
