Re: Joker Poker Displays

Regarding your scores Brian, those are pretty good for just 6 games. Of course
with Joker Poker you can come down another night and be lucky to hit 200K. I
rolled the score once and got another 200K. downside is that it won't retain the
high score since I rolled it. but I did have a witness. He was somewhat but he
remembers what I told him to remember.

Fred,

Thanks. Problem solved.

I got your message last night and went down to check the power board (I'd
focused on the CPU board so your message steered me in a different - turns
out the right - direction)

I noticed that one or two of the power board J3 connection wires were loose
in the connector. Recrimped the J3 connector wires and reconnected J3.
TADA. Displays back and bright as ever. Played six games without a problem
(four around 100-150K, one over 200K and one of which led to score > 300K,
in case anyone was wondering).

Thanks again.

Also thanks to the others who responded in an effort to help.

Check the output voltages on your power supply.

The voltages and locations are located in your
game manual.

After about a year, suddenly the four Joker Poker score displays have
gone blank (status display still functions properly).

Is this likely a J2/J3 connector problem to the CPU board, or perhaps
more likely a chip problem with one or more of the chips on the CPU
board...or maybe something else? Looked on marvin3m.com and found
information on issues when one display wasn't working or displays
functioned improperly, but didn't see advise on what to do if all four
displays are blank. Outside of the displays, everything else functions
fine (all solenoids, switches, flippers, etc.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

- Brian B.
