I bought a Fishtales pin about a year ago. I didnt open it from its crate for about 6 months. When i went to plug it and and turn it on...nothing. I know it came from an honest seller. Any ideas fellas? I have no clue about electronics or anything with it. Not sure if something came loose or maybe a fuse? This is my first pin. Thanks for the help.
 
im assuming you have found the on switch, i would check the fuses there ,open the coin door and look to the right... make sure that its all connected, change the batteries asap!
 
Yep it has batteries. Inside the coin door you "should" find the keys to the back board (translite). Turn the key and lift up on the translite. It'll slide out. Then locate the latch on the right hand side, slide it up and open. In the upper right hand corner there should be 3 batteries UNLESS the seller installed a remote battery holder which could be any where. However, I don't think not having batteries installed or even dead ones will cause the machine not to turn on.
It'll just cause the system to reset it's internal settings every time you turn it on.

So as far as not turning on I would start by checking the fuses on the boards in the back box as well as connectors to the boards.
