Oasis Vending Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 This display on this machine will go off sometimes, if you turn the power off then back on then it will work. I am having a coin mech issue, will the display go off if there is a problem with the machine? I plugged the coin mech back in with the power on and it didn't sound good! Hopefully I didn't fry something, the machine won't let me set prices to unless its to an even dollar. I have a new coin mech that I'm going to try. The display issue has actually happened before when the coin mech was fine.

AZVendor Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Never unplug or plug in any device in a controller machine when power is applied or you will fry something. Don't be surprised if that damaged the logic board.
Oasis Vending Posted April 17, 2017 Author Posted April 17, 2017 I put a new coin mech on this machine and now I can set the prices to whatever I want but now it won't accept coins and it takes one dollar bill then won't do anything. It reads 1.00 CR but won't take anymore money. Do I need to program something the machine to read the new coin mech or something? It has some errors that say Cntrl pwr and ref hot or something like that. The old coin mech felt pretty warm to the touch when I took it out.
AngryChris Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Those errors shouldn't apply. Are you sure this is a good coin mech?
AZVendor Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Ref Hot is a cooling system error. Cntrl Pwr is a power issue to the logic board. You might have a bad board if it's tripping false errors.
Oasis Vending Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 I coin mech is a rebuilt one that I haven't used yet. I am able to set prices since I installed this coin mech but like I said it won't accept coin. I think I need a new board maybe, do I purchase the upgraded one mentioned above?

AngryChris Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Fyi, my Bevmax had those same two errors but functioned fine for years before an upgrade. You need to test those coin mechs on another machine.
Oasis Vending Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 Will the upgrade do away with the fisplay going blank tho? Does the coin mech have to be completely full of coins for it to accept coin? What causes it to take a dollar and say CR 1.00 but not take anymore?
AngryChris Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 An escrow setting can make it take the first dollar but no more, depending on which setting and other variables. A bad coin mech or bad board can also be to blame. If you have any other MOB machines, you will possibly save time and a lot of money by testing the "good" mech.
Oasis Vending Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 Lol, ok, will try today and report back, thanks
Oasis Vending Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 So everything is working except for the coin mech. It won't accept coin and won't give change. It is accepting dollars now, more than one that is. When I turn the machine on, the coin mech kicks out 40 cents everytime. So I have tried two separate coin mechs with same result. I plugged one into a working machine and it wouldn't give the correct change. I didn't try a working mech on the problem machine due to time. I think I will order a new coin mech, one of these I was trying was rebuilt and not used yet.
