Bought a nice Monopoly today that has been HUO for the past 10 years. It's in really nice shape except for the fact that the Bank doesn't open when it's hit. It opens occasionally when the game tells it to, but not when it's hit with the ball. I am assuming this is an opto issue? I see what looks like an opto board but I've never dealt with Stern before so I don't really know what I'm looking at. All the connectors and everything seem to look good, though. Any explanation to this issue?

Thanks!

Derek,
You need to get in the menu and test the optos in the switch matrix. Just put it into switch test and run your fingers over the clear lens on the playfield. There are four receivers under the playfield. Check them individualy. The opto senders are the red lights above the bank door. These may need to be adjusted too. If you can't get the bank optos to shut off individualy in the switch test either you need to repair the optos underneath the playfield by removing that board, or purchase a new receiver board all together.

I have gone into the Bank test mode and tested all the optos on the board and have not gotten it to trip the switch on any of them. When I turn on the machine, the LED's on the underside of the board under the playfield flash briefly and then go off and don't come on again. Any explanation?

Bump, still need help with this. Should the LED's under the opto board flash when they get power and then turn off? I am thinking that they should come on and stay on?
