Trouble with Barcrest Treasure Trail
Hi,
I was hoping some fruit machine genius out there would be able to help me. I have had a Barcrest Treasure Trail for a number of years now and until recently despite the age and lack of maintenance has been running very well. I turned the machine off sometime last week and when I went to turn it back on all I am getting is an alarm sound and on the display; alarm 2.1 and 2.3 are flashing. I wen't into the alarm logs and this told me that it was reel alarms but I have no idea on why they are going off and how to fix them and I was hoping somebody on here who has had a similar problem or someone who knows about these machines would be able to give me some advice as to where to look and how to fix the problem.
Thanks

Can you advise whether or not the reels start to spin when the machine goes through the initialising process? 2.1 and 2.3 would suugest that reels 1 and 3 are faulty, but it is highly unlikely that 2 x reels have failed simultaneously, which makes me think the fault lies elsewhere. Anyway, do they spin or not at initialisation ? If so, then I would unplug reel 1 and swap it with reel 2 ~ restart the machine and see if you now get the different eror message 2.2 ~ if so, the fault has moved position, so the fault is with the reel itself, if not, you've proved that the reel is ok, and that the fault lays elsewhere.
Please report back on your findings

If you're getting exactly the same error message, i.e. 2.1 and 2.3, and presuming you haven'y swapped reel 1 with reel 3 to test them, then you've effectively proved that there is no fault with the reels. The most likely cause is now the reel driver board. Unfortunately, the only way to test it, is by swapping it for a known good unit.
