Thought it might be helpful as a reminder that the problem initially started after...:

After battery install[/color]
 Progress! So the code went away, the machine did its initial spin, and the "insert coin" light went on. Coins are still falling right through, and the red light on top of the machine is flashing. I think the machine is free of code 61 though?
[/size]RockinElvis, I don't see a list under my coin comparitor?
 
 
 The machine worked fine using test credits, but the code 21 occurred after I began looking into the issue of the coins falling straight th[/color]rough

Make sure everything on that orange harness going to coin optics is plugged in good.  Try moving all those wires around a bit, like you maybe did in the beginning.  I have one machine that I get a 21 on all the time, all I do is jiggle on those orange wires and close the door and it goes away.

It appears I made a slight mistake, what is altering between winmeter 3100 and winmeter: 6/coins played: 1

3100 was prob from when you replugged in the hopper, is that when it dinged?  Just means hopper overpaid a coin.  Try test 13 again, sounds like the door not closing again.

I had unplugged the hopper with the machine off. When I turned the machine back on I heard the ding. Test 13 still seems to be good. It switches from 13_0 to 13_1 when I open and close the door.

3100 should clear when you open and close the door and the door optics are working.  Very strange, may have to use clear chip?

Nothing wrong with using the clear chip in your scenario.  Instructions on how to properly use it are found here: http://newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?topic=16134.0

It seems to me like there's an issue with the machine seeing the door as closed, although you were successful in your door optics test.  Let's start with the clear chip and see where that brings us, and we can go forward from there.

I've done it, and from what I can tell it's gone full-circle.


After using the clear chip (and clearing a few error codes starting with 61) I was back to the point of being able to use the button on the coin optic to give me test credits and the machine worked fine with that (like it did before). The Insert Coin light was on but all coins fell straight through to the tray (just like before).


I tried unplugging the CC to see if it would skip on through to the optics and got a code 21 error. From that point, the 21 has been stuck, opening and shutting the door isn't working (like before). The only difference that I know of is now the coin optics do not have Q4 because I removed it.

go back and test the coin in optics, now that Q-4 is removed all three should respond,  if not then you could have a bad connection on your optic board, they use the same type of connector that the power connector on the motherboard uses that causes all the problems. the metal contact becomes compressed and looses its connectivity, you can remove each one and physically look at it and see if it looks compressed.  also you can hold it up to a light source, look through the plug connector from the bottom side, as you look through it you will see the gap in the connector, this will tell you which one has to be reformed.

the one wire/connector you are most concerned with is the wire at pin 4, orange with a red tracer, this is the wire for the optic in question.

About to go do Jim from Midwest Slot's instructions. IN the meanwhile I was wondering if anyone knows a good way to pull the chips without a chip puller? I pulled mine out but it bent a few legs (I bent them back). Not sure if there is a good method, or if I should just go buy myself a chip puller!

I use a screw driver, long thin type with a medium blade.  insert the screw driver between the socket and chip and gently work it underneath, the chip will usually pop right out with no damage to the chip or bend any legs.  Usually enables you to reinsert the chip easily because it was not deformed in the process.

for your clear and set chips, I use a wire round type socket for these chips, because I insert them quite a few times troubleshooting machines. the wire round socket has stiff rigid legs that will not bend during the insertion process.  I have all my clear and set chips mounted in these sockets.

Thx for the advice!


So here are some pics I took... everything looks pretty normal and not smushed or anything like that, I pulled out the orange/red tracer wire and it looks perfectly fine...? The ONLY thing I see (notice in the pic) that the red/black wire has a little nick in it, a tiny amount of exposed wire, looks like all the wires in the pic were compressed. The orange/red tracer wire looks a little smushed... but not bad
