Pressing the coin door Advance button does nothing; the game won't go into the test menu.

Coin door test buttons won't enter diagnostics: jumper test at the CPU plug

Cause: The coin door service buttons are wired as dedicated inputs to a small plug at the lower left of the CPU board, not through the switch matrix. Here the harness plug for one of those headers was missing.

Checks

  • Find the two 4-pin plugs at the lower left of the CPU board; one has black wires and one coloured wires.
  • Unplug the coloured-wire plug and briefly touch header pins 2 and 3 together. If the game enters service mode, the CPU is fine and the fault is in the coin door wiring or switches.

Fix

  • Repair or replace the coin door harness and plug, or the faulty service switch.
