Any idea's on how to clear a code 41 on a s+ slot? Thanks

Open and close the main door.

tried open and closeing door, same thing code 41? I took the second reel and switched it with the first reel also same thing code 41, don't know what to try next

If you have a spare MPU I would try that. Since the error is following the reel position and not the reel, it could be a blown reel driver in the mpu.

Rick Just thinking, did the first 41 ever clear ??

Dave When you close the main door are you getting the latch all the way down ?? Try closing the door again but this time watch the digital display and see if it blinks off and back on.

I am sure I closed the door all the way and latch is down, the reels spin very slow when I put the game on, it still comes up with a 41 code , should I try using a clear chip ?

Please don't. If reels are spinning slow, open the main door then turn the jackpot key one time. The reels should now have stopped, close the door and see if the 41 cleared.

This. Please tell us if the displays turn off for a second and then come back on when you close and latch the door.

Yes the displays go off and come on, I tried another board out of a working machine and it comes up with a code 65 and can't get it out of that ,then tried the original board back and it came up with a code 61 and can't change that ? the reset key on the side works as does the test button inside but won't come out of those two codes

?

Clear it and try again.

Ok, so optics are working. the flash of the display indicates the machine is sensing the door is closed. Was the error just a 65? And have you tried the problem board in the working machine?

At the 61, push and hold the white test button for 2-3 seconds. This should advance you to a 61-1, at which time you would close the door and turn the JP reset key. Do NOT turn the JP reset key with a 61.

A list of common IGT S+ errors (and the steps to take to resolve the errors) can be found here:

OK now I am ready to buy two new boards, I tried to reset both boards with a clear chip but they won't even do that? When I but the boards in a working game one comes up with a 65 0 and stays at that , the other comes up with a 61 then I can get it to a 61 1 then goes to the 65 0 ? From the reference sheet with the codes it that says to replace EEPROM with a blank one ?? What is a EEPROM?

And like I said I tried another working board in the broken game and it comes up with a 65? any ideas? Should I but two boards? But if I do I am afraid they might go bad also?

Lost in s+ world, Dave

I'll just about bet the farm you don't need a new board. Slot tech

board no. Your only a few turns of a key and a few pressing of a test button from having this machine working. I don't agree when you was told to clear this machine, but the damage has been done so I would clear it one more time and follow the clear/ set instructions I attached. Follow those instructions to the letter and you should be good to go.

No one addresses this but this all started with a 41 error, and as I recall you switched reels #1 & #2 and still had a 41 when the machine booted up. Make sure there is nothing rubbing the #1 reel basket, most times it will be a wire hanging down from the reel light fixture.

Well I tried to clear both boards but they won't clear with the clear chip? Maybe the clear chip is bad? When I put the clear chip in one board it goes to 61 then I press the reset it goes to 61 1 then close the door turn key and it goes to 65 0 and that it?
On the other board when I put the clear chip in it goes right to 65 0 and can't go on. Keeping in mind this is a working machine I try the boards in not the one I have trouble with?

Buzz · « **Reply #15 on:** May 28, 2014, 04:06:27 PM »

Dave If it's not clearing exactly like the page one of the instructions I attached were waisting our time. Are you sure it's the GAME chip your replacing with the clear chip ?? I ask because with the clear chip in the correct socket, you press the test button and all your going to see is the numbers counting up. Numbers will stop one time and then start again, when they get to I think all 9s it will stop again and the clear is done. With the clear done, replace the clear chip with the GAME chip ( we can do the set later ).Power on and now you will see the 61. Press test button for 3 seconds, 61 changes to 61-1 close door and turn key one time.

After thought, you are installing the clear chip with the notch in the correct direction

NO bent legs on the chip

Game chip and not Reel chip ??

slotmandave · « **Reply #16 on:** May 28, 2014, 05:52:51 PM »

Hi, I am sure I put the clear chip in the right way on both boards, I have done this several times in the past on other machines and like you say the numbers would start counting but no go this time? I wondering if the chip is bad? Like I said I end up with a code 65 0
What bothers me is that when I put a working board in the broken machine it doesn't play or start. Also why can't I clear the boards?
Again this started with a code 41 which now doesn't come up at all? Is there a trick to get rid of 65 0?
Do you think I should try a new clear chip?

Badbaud · « **Reply #17 on:** May 28, 2014, 06:15:24 PM »

A 65 can also point to a EEPROM that reads different than what is expected.

This usually happens after a clear chip is ran.

You have to press the test button for a 65-1, if you get a 65-3 turn the key switch to get a 65-1 then open the door and press the test switch.

It could be a bad EEPROM, I have had to replace about 4 in 8 years.

But I doubt it is the EEPROM.

But unless you clear the 65 codes also, with the test button and key switch (read the instructions)
the machine will remain in a non working condition.

The EEPROM is the small 8 pin chip on one end of the backplane board, the board the MPU plugs into.

I agree with the above, you are doing something wrong with your clear chip, if you don't get a count up to 999
then your chip is bad or you put it in backwards and ruined it or you are putting it into the wrong socket, It must go where the SP chip is plugged in.

OK, I am sure I put the clear chip in right , so it must be a bad clear chip (it worked in the past) I am also thinking now it is not the EEPROM because I tried clearing the boards in a working machine as this machine play's fine with its own board but not with these two boards. I can't get rid of the 65 0 . I just bought another clear chip on ebay so I guess I will have to wait till that comes in unless someone can come up with another idea. I thank you for you help but this is a tough one with no easy fix?

Thanks Dave

Which board are you using, 10mhz or 16mhz? And which chips? Some chips won't work with some boards
