    Default Taco Slot.. lights up, but nothing else. Heeellllpp!

    Alright, so I recently acquired a Taco Slot machine, but I am having some major issues with it. When I power it up, I get some lights on the outside, but nothing else. I've tried reseating some cables and what-not, but still nothing. I've played around with resetting it, hard resetting it, etc, but I'm still in the same shape. I've checked the fuses and none are burnt. ANY help would be very greatly appreciated, as I plan to get this thing up and running for my wife. I've worked on arcade machines before, but this is my first slot machine. Hopefully I didn't get in over my head! ha. Thank you in advance everyone.

    Just an update, I've found that every button/knob on the front of the unit lights up an LED on the main board. However I am still not getting any sort of error code on the outside.

    Hello lobstercrossing and welcome to the group

    Is there a "medals in or insert medal" light by the token input slot. This typically is flashing showing it is ready to play after a hard reset. At the end of the reset the coin mechanism will click as well.

    Hi! There doesn't appear to be a light by the token input slot.. assuming you mean on the front of the machine? That being said, when I 'reset' the machine, literally nothing happens. The same lights remain on and I can hit each switch to see it's corresponding LED light up on the main board.

    Yes on the front of your machine the image above the token slot with "insert medal" will light up or flash when it is ready to accept tokens for play.

    Also take a look at the third entry in the thread below. You can double check your resetting procedure compared to what Wayne-Ooo shows. Thanks Wayne

    So I followed the steps, but it didn't work. Nothing happens whatsoever and all I get are some of the lights on the front of the machine, but none from the actual bezel area or where the numbers are (where you'd see an error code). Another thing I noticed, when the machine is plugged in, either on or off, I can feel a small current running through anything that's metal. Obviously there's some sort of grounding issue, but I can't figure out where... perhaps that the issue?
