Tell us the "whole story". Why were you replacing the actuator board to begin with? And are you sure that all the other boards and cables are seated and plugged in all the way? Take a good board from another machine and try putting it in the problem machine, or put the "maybe bad" new board in a known good machine. Usually if an actuator board does have a problem, installing it elsewhere to check it out it will not cause any further damage. Make sure that all of the chips on the new board are seated, and that none of them has a bent contact. And is that a brand new board or a rebuild? Did you put the proper software chip on it? For the moment, at least until the combination Test/Actuator board comes out you can use an actuator board from a K or an H machine, they are the same, but they do use a different software chip. A new board probably did not come with a chip on it, but someone might have put one on it and put it back in the bag. A rebuilt board might come with a software chip and that might be the wrong one. And if you did put a software chip on the new board make sure you did not reverse it by mistake, or bend a contact, or miss it by one set of pins when you did it. All of which at least some of us have done at least once. Just a minute, let me jump off my pedastal, speaking from sad personal experience here.

Thank you for your input. You know what it was? It was that darn Microchip I forgot to take out of the old board when I replaced it. WOW! Thanks anyway man.
