Aruze Max 711 reel problem

[bobg]

Reel 1 does not stop when I press the stop button. The other 2 work. Eventually reel 1 will stop but it takes awhile. I switched the reels 1 and 2 and still had the same problem. I checked all connects and found nothing wrong. I disconnect and reconnected all connector and still have the problem.
When I bought the machine there were several broken wires which I fixed. Everything appears to be working correctly except reel one. Any ideas.

The main board feed to the Reel one that circuit on the board may have a bad component on it . Electronic troubleshooting is in order .

How do I do that

How to troubleshoot down to the component level without schematics (wire and component ,transistors, integrated circuits, capacitors, resistors, led , fuses, switches, diodes , ect)

Thanks for the reply. I know how to use a Multimeter and have a good Fluke. Since reel 1 eventually stops in anywhere from 30 to 45 seconds any idea where to look. Reels 2 & 3 stop as soon as the button is pressed

Reel one stop button could be a optical switch (pushing the button breaks the beam ) it's a two piece switch an infrared l.e.d. and a receiver . one or both components could be bad.

I would suspect the button it's self. Especially as a lot use opto sensors rather than a physical switch.

Since I switched reels and had the same problem the reels are OK. Any idea on how to test the optical switch or maybe clean it.

How do I test or clean the button opto sensor

[Drunkenclam]

are there any indicator lights on the processor to indicate a signal from buttons/switches/etc?

Find out where the screws are for that part of the front panel and take a whole bunch of photos Before, During and After Disassembly and Reassembly and Please post them on this thread for we Love photos

I found and fixed the problem. When I repaired the broken wires on the connector that goes from the reel stop board to the reels I crossed a couple. Once I corrected the problems all the reel stop buttons work.

fixed I had a couple wires crossed. Next problem is the coin hopper doesn't work. Trying to find out what the large pins are for next to the coil hopper
