Help Cleaning LCD on Beast Sapp and Eleco reel light problem

[TADD39]

Hello,
I have a Beast Sapp i recently bought from TokenSlot.com and was wondering if anyone can give me some tips on the LCD screen. I have cleaned the outside part and the inside of door but the screen looks dirty between the 2, does this need to come apart somehow to be able to clean it properly between the 2 surfaces i cleaned ?
I read somewhere where there are 3 surfaces that need cleaned ?? I am guessing this machine has 3 screens since it shows graphics over the reels during game play but how do i get to the middle screen to clean it ?
Thanks - Tad

I took the layers apart and ended up letting more dust and hair in then there was before. I wish I never messed with it. Its all good now but unless you in a real sterile environment I wouldn't recommend it.

Thank-you .. i don't think i'll mess with it as my luck goes it would probably end up worse. I just thought maybe it was easy to do.

Now i have another problem, have only had machine for a week and the backlit LCD's behind the reels are starting to go bad. They were all fine when i first got the machine and appeared bright white .. now the first reel i can see all 6 LED's are white but appear dim, the second reel has 2 LCD's that appear blue, 2 LCD's that appear yellow and the 2 bottom LCD's are out. The third reel had 6 white LCD's but appear dim as well.

I contacted the seller from www.tokenslot.com but have not heard back yet, was told i'd be contacted.

Thanks everyone

You are facing the dreaded Eleco reel light problem!

Here is a thread to fix them.

Thank-you EDDIE !!!

I am waiting to hear from Otis51 at Tokenslot.com to see how they want to resolve the issue. I am pretty sure the warranty states it does not cover light bulbs but it's not right i've only had the machine for a week and they are going bad.

If all else fails i will order the replacement bulbs you pointed out .. they are .95 each so i could do all 18 LED's for under $20

Thanks, -Tad

Good luck with the Leds.

Its a lot of fun replacing them. (At least I think so)

I would think that there is a difference between easily replaceable twist in light bulbs and permanently installed LED's as far as a the vendor repairing the machine. LED"s normally out live an incandescent light bulb 100 to 1. Thats why they are permanently installed in place.

If the reels are interchangeable I would try relocating them and see if the problem moves with the reels. If the problems stay the same on each reel than the LED's are the problem.

If not and the problems stay in the same location then you have more in depth issues with the circuit board / boards that light the LED's.

I just started to do my reels on my Sinbad and they look great.
