the % is based over hundreds of thousands of plays.

note the meter readings (cash in/cash out)
play £100 or more each day for a month
retake the meter readings

will give you an indication of the %

if there is no LED lit on the board i was suspect the power supply or power supply loom.

check the molex plugs on the power supply loom for signs of heat damage.

silly question, have you checked your power lead is still working is mo signs of life on the machine?

yes, if you dump an empty hopper, the machine will start from a zero float and fill hopper first.

yes it will divert to cashbox when full

it will count down when your filling refil key.

it must have a 250 float, dump the hopper , chuck £250 coins in the hopper and hit the hopper top up sensor (the dongle should be on a chain near the coin mech)

it will be a faulty transistor on the motherboard.

i bet if you check all the bulbs that are constantle on they will be on the same row. ie share a common wire.

open bottom door enter collector mode press hopper dump switch near the cashboxes machine will count what is in the hopper, as long as its less than maximum float just chuck it back in and the machine will do the rest. from your description of what happened when you bought the machine, the bloke who...

that is a method i often used to check suspect batteries. on bellfruit machines there is a hidden engineer menu which lets you view target versus actual % , afaik there is no such function on the barcrests. you could note the cash in/ cash out meter values down, do the same after a week and work out...

most likely a fault with the mpu.

open bottom door, touch the fob to the disk on front of cabinet. this puts you in collector mode, use the front buttons to navigate to dump hopper. then look in or near the cash box for a hidden rocker switch (this is the hopper dump button) press it and it will dump the hopper. Its this one for cr...

its a mpu6 machine then. there are 4 small buttons on the mpu6. up down enter/test exit (might not be correct order, but you get the picture) in door open mode hit the test/enter button the led display will read "confirm enter test mode" near the coinmech there will be a fob hanging on a c...

you might have an issue with the sound.

on mod 2 boards the sound was handled on the mpu4, on mod 4 boards they changed the way the sound worked. the audio was handled on the gamecard.

i am not sure if they are backward compatable.

sounds like hopper is jammed or opto is dirty

all you would need is coinmech update or replaced.

apparently the coin similer in size to current one, so hopper might be ok.

£30-£40 for coinmech?

i am assuming you are worried about heat damage?

peel the label off and see if the chip shows any or signs of damage.

doubtful tbh
