    Default Boot Error Star Wars Vader

    I had hit a fever and then started to look into why the payout was not working. During my troubleshooting I chose to hard reset the machine. After doing so it now has the seizure inducting strobes and repetitive chants at start up.

    The link below is a video of the error.

    I took a look at the door switch (top) it is connected.

    Suggestions.

    Thanks

    Sounds like the machine thinks that your door is open. Make sure that the door is shut really tight.

    主制御基板上 の 遊技開始 スイッチ を 押し て ください 。

    Please push the game start switch on the main control board.

    Thanks that did the trick. Now back to troubleshooting the payout mechanism

    I validated the it is not an alignment issue. Is there a way to test payout component separately? Wondering if the motor is even functioning.

    reasons for no payout,

    Bottom tray full (or machine thinks its full) - Unlikely as there is normally a message on screen to empty the bottom tray.
    Door open or ajar, Possible, but most machines have an indicator the door is open, either a sound will play or the frame lights will change colour.
    Machine thinks the top tank is empty. Balls are not making it to the sensor that tells the machine its ok to payout. Either the ball stop fork has fallen down and blocked the track or foriegn debris is stopping the balls. Should have an indicator on the front of the frame telling you the tank is empty, and an error code on the back of the machine.
    Debris further down the payout system or in the motor. Need to take the motor out and have a look.
