Stop Reel Board - Short

[rvalkenburg]

I have a Sammy Aladdin II pachislo machine and the stop reel board (to the left of the reels) will blow a fuse instantly once it is connected to the main board in the machine.

Do you think this is a main board issue or a stop reel board issue?

Thank you,

Ron:
Does the board have a separate power connector from its data cable? If so disconnect the data cable that runs to the main board and leave the power connected.
If it still blows then its definitely the stop board (which I'd be leaning towards anyways). If its the stop board you really have two options: A) replace the board or B) remove and test each component on the board to find the fault. As long as you're decent at soldering and have the right multimeter its definately doable. Good luck!
