Hello My name is Jeremy and I need help with my TOTAN game. Im not a rookie at having pinball machine and most the time I pick them up not working and broken. So this isn't my first day working on machines but honestly I'm stumped. I have had this game for a while and decided to shop it out. I took apart the playfield. took the ramps off, plastics off ect. I have done this before. cleaned up everything put it back together. installed LED's, rubbers, balls ect, Turn game on for the first time this was displayed Check Fuses F101, F109 J127 and the 12 volt opto supply.???? so what the heck. I always double check all my work to make sure every thing is tight and correct. make sure all the switch are functioning, always when you tear down a game this old you find stuff. but the game is in good shape. not route beaten.
So I proceeded to re check everything. The game worked great before I took it apart. I did take the batteries out when I started tear it down, that was right after Christmas. I finished shopping it out mid feb when I first turned it back on. so the game sat for almost 2 months with out the batteries. I checked all connection under the playfield there all good. I never touched one connector in the back box during the shop job. so left clueless I opened the coin door and nothing works hit any switch on the menu bar nothing. so I turned off the game, check fuses right! check 101 and 109 took them and all the fuses out, check resistance and is good, no opens. Check TP 100 12 volt reg, good there, check TP103 un reg 12 volt got power there like 12.8 volts. 5 volt good, 20 volt good. So if the test points are having voltage I assume J27 connector that gets the 12 volts from the transformer are good having good test points. so im even more confused.
To the Opto board. The LED on the opto board is on, check 12 volts from the driver board, also checked at the opto board. check both ground as well. Checked 12 volts going to the trough. 12volts are there. so I did a resistance check on the wiring from the opto board to the CPU wiring good no resistance to the cabinet switch connector. So I was so convinced that the opto board was the culprit. Powers there but nobody home. I seen online that a guy had the same issues on his CV so I double check all my work. make sure before I get replacement that was all I had left. ordered a new one rottondog amusements new design after market board. get it in and NOTHING changed.
Now im pissed. So I open the game back up and rechecked the recheck to see if I had something pluged in wrong. everything looked good. Put game back to together. Yes the balls are in the trough. New batteries. totally lost please help me out I just shopped it and really would like to play it again haven't played yet this year and would love to take it to Midwest gaming classics Jeremy
