IGT PE+ Poker: Hold 2 Switch is Nonfunctional

Before removing the processor board, check the following areas:

• Verify the problem by checking the input test in the self test mode
• Check to see if the button assembly is clean and has no broken or missing parts
• If there is a faulty microswitch, replace it
• If hold switches 2 through 5 are nonfunctional, replace hold switch one first
• If the microswitch is wired incorrectly, reconnect by checking another machine of the same type
• Connect one meter lead to the normally open leg of the switch and connect the other meter
• lead to the chassis ground (B gnd), then measure for 8 to 10 VDC
• Activate the switch- the voltage should drop to zero volts
• Test for continuity from H/C2 common to the normally closed leg of H/C5
• If the switch measures open, then measure the next switch inward until a low resistance is measured

If that doesn’t work, try the following steps:

• Replace the processor board with a “known good” one
• If the processor board is good, then replace the motherboard
• To repair the motherboard, use this diagram to isolate the bad trace
• If the motherboard and processor board are good, then use this diagram to test for wire
• continuity.
