IGT S2000 Tabasco Machine All Board LEDs No VFD Message

Ah crap.  I didn't figure the 2nd board would have a SB001000 Base Chip.  That one allows it to use S+ Reel (SS Chips).  So to use that you also have to move the SS chip (note how it is installed), but I think even with the SB001000 chip without the SS chip installed it should have booted but told you there's a problem with the SS chip.  Give it a try though, nothing to lose but a couple minutes of time.

Also if you have a DMM check the power supply voltages.  Attached is a picture of where you can easily check them and the voltage you should see.

Tested with the SS chip and no luck. Which line would be ground?

[Tilt]

OK.

You can use put the negative lead on the metal lining the interior of the cabinet.

oh I'm late...I guess you already tried the SS PROM in the S2000 MPU.

Insert this chip with the un-notched end closest to the unmarked end of socket U17.
This chip has 28 pins but the socket has 32.
See Figure 4-3 for details.

I tried that in board 1 and it didn't change its behavior.

Without another cabinet, all you can do is try MPU #2 with the SS and SB001000 chips in this machine.
Once you have the MPU in, and only then powered up, close the door and watch the VFD display closely for messages.
Do you have a Jackpot reset key?

Tried that and got nothing. But will try again

Fired off an email, we will see what he says tomorrow. As soon as I get the chips I will update you.

[a69mopar]

I don't normally sell chips, but started looking for this one. Since the move things are hard to find, I am happy that I found a couple boxes of Alpha game cards. Hopefully I find the missing Fortune 8 card also. The search continues...

Thanks,
Wayne

Also just to confirm, The IGT S2000 uses IVC224 (Clear Chip) & KEY0045, right?

[Tilt]

Yes, that's correct.

[TheDeadman]

Was about to make dinner today when I looked at the second MPU and notice a chip seemed to be slanted. I reseated the 2 chips and now I am getting "GAME EPROM CRC MISMATCH -0xB000001". One step closer. Should I swap the SB chips and see what happens? (it has the Double Diamond SB chip right now)

Just turn the j/p key until it says to push test button for 3 seconds then close the door.

Just continues to say Please close main door (which is definitely closed)

That one was the SB001000 so you also have to install the SS chip on that board too.

The SS chip is in, but I can't seem to get the door to fully close. the latch on the side appears to be half way down and if I pull the door, even while it should be locked, it opens.
