E2 error on coinless Big Chance machine
I got a mostly working machine that was previously converted to coinless (at least 5 years ago, as the company that did it stopped doing it that long ago).
Right now it works for a while, but will randomly start flashing, playing 2 alternating tones, static in the speakers, small florescent bulbs kinda flashing (like it is trying to start up, even though it was just on fine), and the error code E2 showing. I found a manual, and it looks like E2 is something to do with a Change Error, but there is nothing in there for taking or giving out money.
It will start doing this at random times, even if the machine is just sitting there with nothing touching it, and no one playing it. Sitting there quietly, then just starts making noise and throwing the error. I can open it up and press a red reset button inside, and it will eventually stop, and start working again.
I do see a board was added, and parts of the wiring plugged into the board. I'm pretty sure this is an add on board to allow the machine to work without the hopper or other coin mechanisms. The board says:
E-Coin
HQ-V3.0
I'm guessing that since it is complaining about something that is not there, the add on board is failing, as that is what is faking the signals for those missing parts.
I have 2 questions,
1) does my guess seem reasonable/correct? (the small add on board is bad)
2) if so, where I can get a replacement? I have not been able to find one so far (but also not exactly sure what to search for)
here is a short video showing the error just starting with nothing happening to it, then reset, then it works fine for a while.

I also tried searching around the forum, but E2 is too short, so I'm not exactly sure what else to search for....
