Epoch spares finally arrived, and have changed ALL of the boards. Was a struggle to get it to boot to start with (Kept getting a strim error, but eventually sorted it, swapping the mech with ACE Cash Raider, and BOTH now work, and also fixed a reboot fault with CR to boot), but finally got it working..... sort of.
I can not for the life of me get it to go in to test mode (Test credits or full test mode), one lamp is out (£1 cash / Bart), one is running dim (Right corner, 4th one down / Lisa +1), and now the alpha has just died on me, along with a dead hopper.
Now I have checked the obvious like dead bulbs, ran BOTH lamp boards etc, but I am pretty much out of ideas what to check next. Anyone got any ideas, apart from Player's fave epoch dismantling tool?
