I just got my Monte Carlo Royale running.

I noticed the smart bill vallidator lamp bezel wasn't working. I traced down the wiring...it's not plugged into anything.

Do I need an adapter harness for this to work, or is there a connector somewhere that I need to plug this into?

The smart bezels that look like that usually get daisy chained to the 5 pin flat molex connector between the validator and the machine's harness.  I have never seen it on a bally machine, but the IGT machines I have with that bezel connect in the fashion described.  What wires are coming out of the bezel?

The white plug in the picture is what is coming from the bezel.

I have the same bezel in a few of my S2000 machines. I don't see any daisy chain wiring on this harness though.

I have a smart bezel in my Alpha and it connects to the a cable from the WBA bill validator.  Mine is 6 pin connector but same 3 colored wires.
If it ain't broke don't mess with it.....

The Sentry is for a WBA so it won't work with an MEI.

It has been my experience that all these smart bezels are protocol flashed.  You would need to have the tools and the firmware to flash them to IDO 24

Thanks Rick,

To be honest, I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about....LOL

In the meantime, does anyone have a stock bill validator light bezel set-up for sale?

I figured, stock would look better than this non-lit bezel I have currently installed.
