Hi guys,
Do you think i should buy a new scorpion 4 mpu then?? Do you think that it is this that is causing the problem?? I had a look on ebay and there is one on there. are these scorpion 4 mpu boards all the same?? basically what i am asking is if i buy this board will i be able to just swap it over???
Thanks
John

Hi Mythicos and everyone,
i have had another look at my machine and tried everything that you have all said but still i have no joy. One thing i did notice is that the microswitch for the take cash button looks like it has burnt out as there is a black film on it. could it be this that is causing the problem?? if it has burnt out would that cause the other buttons not to work?? if yes does anyone know where i can get some of these microswitches?? or can anyone sell them to me??
Thanks
John

Thank you all for your help and advice, i will try to trace that wire, i will look and trace the wires from all the buttons to see if there is a loose one or something, i did have a quick look today for any trapped wires but could not find any. If i cant resolve this with your help and advice does anyone know who i could phone to get this repaired??
Your help is much appreciated
thanks

Thanks for all your responses, it is in a smiley 2 cabinet. yesterday i did open up the machine and i made sure all the connectors were pushed on correctly and i took some off then blew on the to remove any dust, when i switched the machine back on all the buttons worked fine but when i switched it on this evening they wernt working again so i opened it up again played about with the connectors and i managed to get one working press of the lo button but that was it they have stopped working yet again and i cant work out whats wrong. i hope that it is just a loose connection or like you said baz a trapped wire. I will check the things that mythicos and baz have mentioned and i hope i can get it working again. Just some additional info for you brain boxes out there. On the top glass there are 6 buttons, they are, take cash, hi lo, take prize, change number and take feature, all of the buttons dont work apart from the take feature button which works fine, now i have looked in my manual that came with the machine and it says that the 5 buttons (the ones that dont work) are linked together via 1 switch or strobe (i dont understand) now the take feature button which works is wired to a switch or strobe on its own so ..................... I hope this helps you all a little bit more as it means absolutley nothing to me. your help is much appreciated. please keep helping me to try to fix my new machine
Thank guys
John
