    Default Sakura Fubuki hopper short

    Hi everyone. I was messing around with my fubuki hopper and shorted it out and now the screen constantly displays a E.4. error and no sort of reset will correct it. I needed to know whether when the hopper shorts, does it short something in the powersupply or does it short to the mainboard? It looks like connects to the powersupply but I need to know what replacement part to buy so any help would be greatly apprecited. Thanks!

    do you have tokens in it?

    does the coin rotor turn freely?

    have you checked fuses?

    have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting hopper cable?

    have you tried another hopper from same manufactor?

    I thought I'd messed up a hopper one time and it turned out that the wiring for the non-existent overflow bucket was getting pinched by the hopper and grounding out.

    Might be something else to look for?

    I really dont think the hopper is the problem... Soon after the powersupply started to smell like burnt silicone or something is fried. I am now thinking I will need a new powersupply either way. Yes, I have tried all those things, in luckydogs list. The hopper wasnt running when it shorted and displayed the error. Thanks again

    to make sure its not the hopper,

    you could try it in your other fubuki machine,

    they should be the same

    the best advise after that is to contact the vendor you got it from.

    The hopper works fine in the other one... But the sakura powersupply stinks like burning silicon. I dont think thats a good thing... This just happened after I got the e4 error.
