You are in the "61 loop"
You will need a clear chip.
Do a search on the forum for the above quoted term and you will see this is common.
Once a clear is done you will also need a SET chip to reactivate the bill validator.
See Ricks FAQs on the bottom right of the home page on how to use one of those.

ran the clear, it clears the machine but still won't come off of 61.1 I should have put that in my post. I guess next step it to rip the harness apart
and look for broken optics wire some place or to try and find out if there are drop door wires in the harness some place.

You can check the door optics by running self-test [13-0] in the Flip sheets?
Or you can watch a youtube video I made...lol...>>>

Open the belly glass door too....sometimes a microswitch is up there on the top left-hand side.

You can't run the door optics test when a 61 error is present.
Dave, if it's not advancing past 61-1, either it's not detecting the door(s) as closed, or your jackpot reset key switch turn is not being detected.

Here's how you can find out which one isn't working.
With a video camera, look for a blue-ish ligh coming out of the door emitter optic.
It will be faint but obviously lit up....that means it's good.
On the cabinet reciever optic, disconnect it, set a multimter to ohms putting your probes on the two pins.
Shine a flashlight across the optic...the ohms should change on the multimeter...that means it's good.
There's another way too...lol...>>>
I pull the harnesses off of both optics, stick a 4 ft. piece of wire into the flat-side, purple hole on the door harness.
At the other end on the cabinet harness, I stick the wire end in the pointy-side, red hole and your optics are jumped.
If the J/P Reset key works, turn it, and the [61-1] should go away.
Now you'll know you need some optics...
