MOTHERBOARD / SOFTWARE OPTIONS Big Bass Wheels may have 6 different types of motherboards. As motherboards become obsolete and can not be purchased, different motherboards have had to be sourced to be backward compatible in most cases. There are 2 paths of software that work in the different motherboards. If the wrong version is used, there will be sound issues, or may not boot at all.
MOTHERBOARD COMMUNICATION OPTIONS Production Change: The communication cable from motherboard to I/O Aux Board needed to be changed with the use of the MB10 & MB10E motherboards. As a result, on 12/27/17 a change was made to a different communication cable. Important! - the direction which this cable plugs into the motherboard is different between the 10 and 10E ! The motherboard will be damaged if this cable is plugged in incorrectly! Current Production Version:...
GAME ERRORS Door Open The I/O board is seeing one of the 5 doors switches being open. (Front left door, front right door, back door, side left door, & side right door) All 5 door switches are wired in series, so if one is open, it will show open. Cable CE1618 plugs into the yellow socket on the top of the I/O board.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Troubleshooting Strategy Use common sense and a systematic method of troubleshooting to determine the exact problem, probable cause and remedy. Use the process of elimination to find the faulty component. Always check for the simple and obvious causes first such as unplugged, loose or broken wires and bad sensors, bent, pinched, stuck or jammed components.

BILL ACCEPTOR DIAGNOSTICS Note: There are many different models and brands of Bill Acceptors that are used on redemption games. Your Bill Acceptor may differ from the unit shown. Standard DBA is MEI # AE2451-U5E Part # A5AC9091 Determine if Bill Acceptor has power: Turn game ON—The bill acceptor should make noise as stacker cycles and green lights on outside bezel should flash.
POWER SUPPLY DIAGNOSTICS 1.) Verify AC power to front of game. Check power strip in bottom front. Check for illuminated power switch. 2.) Check AC power connection to power supply. 3.) Ensure Power Supply switch is set to 115V (or 230V) (Some model power supplies may not have this) 4.) Ensure Power switch is on.

WHEEL ENCODER SENSOR The arrow pointer will show the customer which ticket value they have won. Remember: There is a ½ inch buffer zone between panels that provide a small margin of error. This space is also present on the big bonus values. It allows a big bonus value to score even though the pointer may be slightly above or below the actual sticker on the wheel.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENTS Wheel coast time is a number related to how long the wheel spins as it coasts to a stop. A long coast time will increase the time per game, and customer will wait too long to play game. The higher the number, the faster the wheel stops.
TOP 7 THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT BIG BASS WHEEL 1.) If game goes into menu by itself - scrolls through it by itself. The solenoid is bad. 2.) If pays out 5 or 6 tickets every time, then enter the secret menu by holding the menu button down for 30 seconds, and turn off “show settings”...

STAY PUT KIT Part # AAKIT-BBW-STAY Symptom: Big Bass Wheel game moves away from the wall and across floor over time. Solution: Simple wood block with rubber matting to block front wheels. Directions: Place dolly under front lip of game.
HOW TO REMOVE WHEEL The large wheel may have to be removed from the cabinet to replace certain parts of the wheel assembly. The entire wheel can be slid out the back of the game on wooden rails. The drive chain will come out with the wheel.
HOW TO “JUMP START” MOTHERBOARD Symptom: The game is turned ON, but the power supply is not running. (The fan on the power supply is not turning with no lights on cabinet.) If the green LED on the motherboard is ON, then the motherboard itself is turned off. This could happen with a power surge or AC voltage dip.
HOW TO INSTALL A NEW MONITOR The new monitor may be a slightly different size than the existing monitor. There will be a black plastic form and wood spacer included with the monitor in case it is needed.
Solution: The original amplifier used on the I/O board has been discontinued, and the replacement amplifier has a higher gain level. Therefore, the motherboard’s master volume on the desktop has to be modified to provide normal sound levels. Instructions are different for Ticket Monster and Big Bass Wheel:...
Page 54
KEYBOARD/MOUSE ADJUSTING OF MASTER VOLUME Symptom: No volume at all on game, usually caused by swapping software between different versions of motherboards. Instructions: Plug a USB keyboard and USB mouse into the motherboard. Turn on game and allow to boot up as normal. Hit the Q on the keyboard to quit program.
