I recently bought a slugfest and it included an original card dispenser that was never used. I updated the game settings to activate the dispenser however it doesn't do anything or make any noise. I pulled the dispenser draw out and see on the small board that the led is lit however when I press the service switch, nothing happens. The rubber roller wheel didn't move so I removed the motor and then it moved good...when I put it back in, it wouldn't move. I'm thinking the motor is shot but wanted to ask for support in troubleshooting. Thanks.

Thanks LTG...do you know what kind of oil is used in these motors?

I put in a new motor and gearbox with lubricant and still nothing. Again, the led on the board is lit but nothing happens. All wiring connections are made. Any other suggestions?

Thanks. I am getting no reading so I removed the pcb in the dispenser. Do you know what I should test?

Thanks so much!

Ok, after much work, the card dispenser is still not operational. I've replaced the motor, gearbox and driver board and also tried to test the circuits. Any further guidance or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, finally got it working. Apparently, I was missing the necessary transistor on the driver board. Replaced that and it instantly worked.
