Title: Accepts bills but does not credit
Post by: edoleu on February 23, 2022, 04:36:40 PM

Hi all --

I wasn't sure if I should post this in this forum or in the DBV area, but I'll try here first since I don't think the problem is the bill validator.

I believe that I had seen some discussion in the past regarding the same or similar problem, but I cannot find it now.

The JCM DBV and stacker work just fine. Bills are accepted and stacked neatly in the can.

However, there are no credits registered on the machine.

I have swapped:
- The bill validator (2 other units), same result.
- The MPU board. (Both boards work just fine in another Game Maker and accept bills.)

I am guessing it's some kind of communication issue between the DBV and the MPU or backplane.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try next?

Thank you for reading this!

***UPDATE***

I swapped out the head and changed the DIP switch 10 setting, sprayed contact cleaner on all the connectors, and reconnected everything. That did the trick.

Sounds like it is a very efficient machine.  I usually have to play for a couple of hours before all my cash disappears....  :stirthepot:

I have no experience on this platform but it almost sounds like it might be set to be $100 per credit vs $1 per credit.
So you would need to put in 5 x $20 for 1 credit.....
Generally speaking bill validators reject bills if there is no communications with their host.

Thanks for your reply.

It is not set for $100 per credit. The machine is set for 0.05 (nickels).
