Picked up a routed GB Pro the other day. Slimmer is not working. Motor doesn’t go anywhere in test. Any ideas how to know if the motor is bad or which board controls it to check?

Quoted from lllvjr:Picked up a routed GB Pro the other day. Slimmer is not working. Motor doesn’t go anywhere in test. Any ideas how to know if the motor is bad or which board controls it to check?
I tested the motor with a 9volt battery and it operates correctly spinning and moving the switches. So I ordered the little mini board it connects to. Replaced the board and the motor still doesn’t work. Checked it again with the 9volt battery and it moves. So it’s not the motor and not the driver board that it plugs into. Any idea where to check next?
Quoted from eyeamred2u:You can manually activate the microswitches and make the motor work. There are 2 microswitches with roller ball bearings that are cheap and fail. One is for the upper limit of slimer and one is for the lower limit. The motor will not work if these switches are not working, or if the position is incorrect of the upper arm that connects to the motor. See the pic I attached.

Nope switches work fine when I press them. Motor does nothing to get them to be pressed
Quoted from eyeamred2u:And that is when you are in the specific test mode for slimer? Screen shows 33 34 and 68?
The switch 34 comes up failed in test mode cause the motor never moves. When I hook up a 9volt it rolls the switches and the turn off and on. There’s a issue before the driver board to tell the motor to turn on. My guess is a spike board issue
Quoted from Blackzarak:Did you change the driver board?? Those tend to be faulty mine went out on my premium and order a new one with no issues After that. [quoted image]
I don’t have a green light lit up on mine. I replaced the board with a new one

You can manually depress the switches while in that switch test and I guarantee when you hit the black button(s), slimer will go up or down, will drop an error. I just had this happen on my game last month. I replaced both switches and issue went away. It is not a board error. Those switches are gonna fail eventually. Grab a helper and try it. If you need more info, I will take a video of how to trouble shoot it.[quoted image][quoted image]
Nope switches work fine when pressed. When I put it in test the motor doesn’t move to mark them off and on. If I rotate it by hand they turn off in on. And I don’t have a switch 68 in my test?
