Blown fuses, code 61-1, comparitor problems IGT Triple Play S-plus game

.....And if I win for instance 2 or 5 credits I don't get them on my winner paid window. In stead of that I have to use the reset key to quit the sound that comes when you hit the jackpot.

I think you have a setting wrong on your machine. If the hopper setting or credit limit setting or jackpot setting is wrong then the machine is immediately going into jackpot mode and waits for a casino person to come by to pay you. Do you have any coins in the hopper? Does your "CashOut" button on the front of the machine let you change to credit play (so that any winnings accumulate as credits on the machine instead of immediately being paid)?

There is a white TEST button inside the machine, usually near the power switch. Pressing this TEST button will let you step thru different menu choices and you can enable or disable things. I don't know how to tell you which setting to change but someone else here will be able to.

Inside the machine is a hopper. I filled it with the same coins (160 coins) I have attached in the comparator. I think the program chip is messed up.

Ok, that is good to have several coins in the hopper, it will probably hold many more than 160, it depends on the size of the coin but often you can put hundreds of coins if you wish, it will hold as many as it takes to fill it up to the "hopper full" probe that sticks into the side of the hopper on the front. But many people don't want so many coins in the hopper and they prefer to play by using credits on the machine. It is your choice.

You say your chip is "messed up" but I think you mean the preference settings or something else. If the eprom program chip was messed up or damaged the machine would not play. Maybe I misunderstood your statement. Some of the features or way your machine operates can be controlled by a dipswitch setting or by the settings available when you press the white TEST button.

Another NLG member just posted that you can check the dipswitch on your main circuit board (called the mpu board). There may be a label explaining the purpose of each dipswitch position, that may be a way to change how your machine operates so that it will not keep going into jackpot mode with every win.

Can you post a photo of your mpu board showing the dipswitch on it?

It would be helpful if we know what eprom chips you have in your machine. Sometimes the label on the back of the chips will tell us that. But if you can follow these instructions (from another NLG member-thanks Dave!) this will tell us what software is in your machine:

When you have the credits cleared (zero credits on the machine), open the door and push the white test button (probably located on either the front or back of the power switch assembly) until a 4 shows in the coins played window. 2 sets of numbers with flash on the front display. One is the SP (game) chip. The other is the SS (reel) chip. Tell us what those numbers are.

Interesting coin you are using, can you post a photo of it? What is your country location? Where did the machine come from, is there a casino nearby?

Thanks!

So, if I understand all the posts up to now, your machine is operating as it should .EXCEPT FOR THE PAYOUT FROM THE HOPPER.  so, every time you  get a winning combo the machine locks up and you have to reset it using the jackpot reset key ( or in your case, touch two wires).  you have to change some  settings to do this.  VERY SIMPLE,  with the door open (this puts you in the service mode) press the white test button near the on/off switch, this will take you into the machine diagnostic mode, in this mode, you can test every function of this machine.  press the button until you see a 0 in the coin played window, and a 5_0 or a 5_1 or a 5_2 in the winners paid window. the 5 indicates the setting feature, the 0-1-2 indicate the actual setting of that feature, your PSR or SP chip will define each. USUALLY A "0" SETTING WILL PUT ALL WINS ON THE CREDIT METER.  use the spin reels button to change this setting.  once set, continue pressing the white button until you see a 7 in the coins payed window and some numbers will appear in the winners paid window, one of them should be flashing, use the jackpot key switch to move the flashing number over to the fourth position, now use the spin reels button to advance that number, you want this to be 1000,  now press the white button, a different set of numbers may appear in the winner paid window, set this to 1000, press white button again, now a 8 in the coin played window and a value in the winner paid, set this to a 1000.   after all is set close and latch the door .the new settings should be set. now play the game and verify that the game is operating  as you want.

hope this helps

I use a 5 euro cent (see pic)
It's to small for the hopper to pay out. The knife is also a little bit damaged. So there are two things to do: use bigger coins and renew the hopper knife.
For the rest the machine is doing well    Thanks for all the help I get.

If your 5 euro. is close in size to US 5 cent or 10 cent, you can change parts in the hopper to make it work. Must be very close or a hair smaller or hair larger. We are able to use .984 tokens in place of our 25 cent
