You have either a bad coin mech, bad logic board, coin mech not connected correctly or, the most likely issue is that the fuse to the board is blown.  This would leave you with a dead credit display, no lights on the logic board or inside the coin mech.  The fuse holder is black plastic and is under the control board just above the T-handle assembly.  You push in on the cover and it will release and flip down.  There might be a spare fuse in the cover that flipped down but the working fuse is the other one you see. If it's blown then replace it with an exact replacement as it protects the logic board and coin mech.  They sometimes blow when a column jams so check your columns and have spare fuses.  If the fuse is good or you still have power to the display then the coin mech might be bad.
