need help- S plus almost there, but wont accept coins.
« on: January 29, 2017, 04:40:34 PM »
s plus with a 1271 game chip.  replaced the battery and full reset. reset went as according to instructions and then set the BV and that also went smooth. close door, reels test spin.  however, the coins played 0 just blinks. candle stick top is lit solid. no insert coins light.  coins go straight to tray.  pressing the credit button on the coin optics adds a credit and you can play a game.  when you close the door, the reels dont test spin. blinking zero is back.  lift the handle up and the zero goes solid.  no error codes. lift the handle up and down 3 times, no reel test.  goes right to blinking zero. i'm stumped,

thanks
mike

Have you checked to make sure the sample coin is seated good?

- Press the "Change" (or "Service") button on the far left to turn off the solid light on the top of the candle.

- Make sure that the sample coin is seated properly in the Coin Comparator.

- If it seems like the machine should be ready to accept a coin, but coins are rejected back to the tray, you'll want to try adjusting the sensitivity on the Coin Comparator so that it is least likely to reject coins:



Using a tiny screwdriver, adjust that counter-clockwise (away from the +) to make the comparator less sensitive -- that will have the comparator reject fewer coins.  Turn the dial all the way back and forth a few times to make sure it's making a good contact, ending up dialing it away from the plus, then see if your acceptance improves.

Is there a setting in the TEST menu that might be set wrong, like "Coin Play Disabled"? Maybe since you did a reset some setting got set wrong.

Is coin comparitor getting power?

Do you have another coin comparitor to try?

I mis-read your initial post.

With the door open, gently move one of the reels off-center from its current position, then close the door.  Do the reels spin to reset at that point?

Are you sure your Insert Coins lamp is good?  Can you put a known good bulb in there to help with troubleshooting?

Also, do you have a different MPU board to try by chance?  With the rake wedged and the coins forced to go to the hopper, it should have given a credit.

Also, can you do the coin-in optics test to determine if your coin-in optics are behaving correctly?  It's been posted here recently -- I can find that and post it here if you can't find the instructions.

It is sounding like a bad COD board.
If the comparator is only accepting coins with the rake open then it is not being enabled by the COD board.
The coin falling through the COD board to the hopper is further evidence the COD board is bad.

With the door open can you press the white test button (pseudo coin) on the front of the COD board and get a coin in?
Let them that don't want any, have memories of not getting any.

COD board?

He said in his initial post that he can use the pseudo coin button on the coin-in optics board with the door open and the machine will play.

He also said that with the rake jammed open coins are going to the hopper (as would be expected with the rake held open), but no credits are being posted.

Then re-seating the connector on the COD board a couple of times and cleaning any corroded pins is the next step.
If that doesn't work then replacing the COD board may be necessary.

What is this COD board you're talking about? The coin-in optics assembly?

the machine is getting dropped off at my house in a few days and i'll take a good look at it.  i would think is the coin optics were not right, i'd get a coin jam error from not having two  optos  working. this ones a puzzler.

Never heard it called that -- I learned something today, thanks.

We've seen a number of them here where the first optic is "stuck", but the machine doesn't report an error.

Coins Played flashing “2” (But won’t accept coins)
Manually running the coin comparator using the test button works normally (This shows that everything from the Coin Optic Detector board below coin comparator(COD Board) is working?. 
After a couple of hours messing with this, held up the rake lever on the coin comparator while manually running a coin through. Close the door, and everything is back to normal.     
Never did find any explanation of the Flashing "2" code? in the COINS PLAYED window.

 :thank_you: Thanks for that info.   I thought of that, and I ran through the sequence about 8-10 times both using the key, and also the reset button, turned the machine off/on many times, reseated all of the usual "suspect" connectors, the main board, reseated all of the EPROMS, sprayed everything with contact cleaner, and nothing seemed to clear it until I did the process above, closed the door, and VIOLA! - like nothing ever happened.  If I was stuck in test mode(2), nothing I did seemed to get me out of it, and just closing the door shouldn't have reset it?    Sometimes I think it just gets lonely, and wants attention :duh: .

Wondering now, if it was just a sticky coin comp, and wiggling the lever a couple of times freed it up?

I will hold onto your chart for future reference!

Trying to understand this a little better...   Looking at the chart you posted, none of the function codes were displayed on the left side, just a flashing "2" in the COINS PLAYED window?   (If it happens again, I will be sure to get a picture of it)  Does it normally flash, or just a solid "2"?
