C. Troubleshooting
Power
Problem:
The meter’s display is blank and the LEDs are not flashing.
Solution: Be sure to turn the meter on. This can be done by inserting any card into the
meter. Insert it completely up the card slot and wait for a beep.
If this fails, be sure the battery is plugged in. Also, verify that the card reader
connector is attached to the solar panel and that the solar panel is fully
connected to the main board.
Problem:
The meter’s display is blank but the LEDs are on continuously.
Solution: Replace the battery.
Problem:
In the Voltage Menu item of the Diagnostic Menu, the Solar Panel voltage is
reported as being extremely low (i.e. under 500 mV).
Solution: Verify that the Solar Panel is properly connected to the Main board and there
is nothing obstructing the Solar Panel.
Problem:
The display is blank, but the lights are flashing.
Solution: Press the diagnostics button. If text appears on the screen, press Cancel. If
the screen is still blank, inspect the LCD ribbon cable for damage. Verify that
the Display Board is fully connected to the Main board.
Problem: The front LEDs are flashing but the rear LEDs are not.
Solution: Verify that the Solar Panel Board is fully connected to the Main board. If this
doesn’t resolve the problem, it indicates a fault with the Expiry board.
Remove the rear plastic and unscrew the Expiry board. If the LEDs are now
working, there is a short between the board and the metal chassis. Be sure
that there are plastic inserts between the board and the chassis where the
screw holes are. If the LEDs are still not working, the cable that attaches the
Expiry board to the Solar Panel Board is damaged. Fix the cable if possible.
Otherwise, replace the Solar Panel and/or Expiry boards.
Coin Issues
Problem:
The meter reads Cards Only/No Coins. In Diagnostic Mode, the meter
shows “Coin Path Blocked”.
Solution: Check the validator for any obstructions. If the problem persists, check that
the validator is properly plugged in and that the connector cable is not loose.
Also
check that the validator connector board is intact.
Problem: The meter reads Cards Only/No Coins. In Diagnostic Mode, the meter shows
“OSC Fault”.
Solution: Check the validator for any obstructions. Try swapping the validator with
another one as one of the coils of the existing validator may be damaged.
