Check for a coin jammed in the mechanism holding the microswitch down.

Tryed that the coin goes in and the coin comes straight back out the bottom so looks like no coin stuck :(

In the same vein, maybe the microswitch is stuck down - it would be a good idea to take the coin mechanism apart and watch the progress of the coin through to see where the problem may be.

By out of the bottom do you mean the cash tin or the reject slot?

If it's the reject slot it can still be a coin jam holding the coin mechanism open.

Try spitting on e coin, sometimes that works - no kidding ye !

Fruit machines didn't have game cards and mother boards in the days I was employed to mend them, many just had cogs and wheels and a handle on the side but when I was called out to mend a machine nine times out of ten it was just to take a bent coin out of the coin mech.
