He has a superboard (good!), but the game in there (PP0053, Joker Poker) is a non-superboard game and does not require a DATA chip.  That configuration should work just fine.

Thanks Kevin! I am used to seeing a DATA chip installed, didn't consider that some games don't need it.

Hi -

'Does the "Door Open" message disappear when you close and latch the door?'
No.  I have never seen anything on-screen other than "Door Open, Call Attendant, CMOS Data."
(See Reply #12 for a screen shot.  )

I have not tried to disconnect and ID the door's optical(?) sensors, but figure it can't hurt to replace those.  I can get them used on eBay, but if anyone here has a set I'd rather purchase through the forum. 

Also, if someone can link me to a clear/set chip, I'll gladly get that ordered ASAP.

Scott...

If the Door Open message never disappears, your door optics would be a likely suspect. You will never get past the error message until the machine sees the door as closed.

I see there is or was a bill validator in your machine. Can you ensure that the bill validator stacker door ("cash can" door) is closed and latched securely. If that door is open, the machine will report a door open even if the main door is closed.  Check for wires and a small switch near the stacker box door which are likely in-line with the door optics.

The chances of needing a clear chip on a PE+ are pretty slim. I think I only ever had to use one once ever.

If you do indeed have a bill validator, you may need the SET chip to re-enable it.

Yes, there is a bill validator in my machine.  I believe the cash can is installed correctly - push in, latch comes down and locks it in place.  If I pull this can out of the machine the bottom of it just falls open, but I don't see any kind of latch.

Maybe better if I just post some pics...

On the metal enclosure for the cash can, the door that opens on the front of it to access the cash can if it's installed, there should be a micro switch that closes when the door of the enclosure is closed. You don't even need to have the cash can in at this point, just ensure the access door for it is closed and latched so the switch on that access door is closed.

Hi Knagl,

I'm not following you on the microswitch on the cash can.  Adding more pics.

I pulled the bill validator out and made sure all of the latches were locked in place, reconnected the cables and it sprang to life.  That's new.

Unfortunately, nothing on-screen changed at all.

Are you talking about the door on the cash can opening when it's pulled out? I just put a piece of tape over the edge to keep it closed when pulled out. The locks are removed when the machines a sold.
Please remember to make a donation to NLG for mine/our help in repairing your machines problem.. Your donations help keep this site on line.
And remember...
If it's jammed, force it.. If it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyways...

I'm not talking about the cash can itself at all, I'm talking about the enclosure that holds it. Is there not a metal door that you have to open to access the cash can?

Scott,

The majority of my experience with PE+ machines is with the bartop models I own, but I would presume that yours is missing the door to secure the cash can, as pictured in my Reply #27 above.  The point of that door in a casino environment is to give a main door key to slot attendants to have access to refill the hopper, clear coin jams, etc., without them having access to remove the cash can.

All that said, you certainly don't need a door there for home use.  The only concern is if there is wiring leading there for a switch for the machine to detect if the bill door is open or not.  If the machine came to you like that, it's likely the previous owner bypassed that switch, which is perfectly fine, but since you're having issues with getting the machine to recognize that the door is closed, you'll need to verify that there isn't any door wiring going to that box.

It'd probably just be best to trace the wires from the door optics to see if they go directly to the motherboard (the backplane).  If they do, then you're probably fine as far as there being wiring for another door, and I'd suggest changing out the optics with a known good set.  Note that the optic emitter and receiver both have the same size plug -- be sure to plug them into the correct sides of the door.
