Another new person to slots....igt s+ double diamond, stuck in idle door open

[Badbaud]

Wonder what that black 1 pair wire is draped under the reel mech bracket?
Could be someone's attempt to defeat a door optic system?

Here is a picture of the machine....front what I gather, it is not a slant top, sorry for the confusion

yeah, elvis is correct, that's a 16" upright machine. The Dbl Diamond Deluxe are very fun to play because of the "nudge" feature they have. Good job on getting the photos posted.

Probably not a problem, but is the door optic connector disconnected, or is it just the way it looks in your photo?

No, its just the picture, the door optic sensor is connected.

falconross- those black wires are not original to the machine, can you see where each end goes to?

The black wire is for a fan that the previous owner sat in there.  I just left it in...not sure if it needs it or not

[falconross]

to the left of the left reel, you can see blue glow from the fan's light

I've been doing some reading on a S plus manual I found online, and a Zero in the coins played window indicates I have entered a self test.  With a 1 in the winners paid window, it says i am in the Slot Accounting System (SAS).  Does this make any sense?

Most home owners disconnect the fan on an S+, they don't have an overheating problem in home use. But it won't hurt anything as long as the wires or fan don't touch the rotating reels or the wires don't get pinched. The fan might actually bring extra dust into the machine, I'd probably remove it if it was my machine. We'll see what others say.

When you shut the door and latch it the machine should exit test mode and return to normal play mode.  Does your door latch and sliding locking bar move up and down freely, you can move it all the way down to lock the door?

[falconross]

yes, actually, if the door is lined up just right, the latch will slide all the way to the bottom by itself

[rokgpsman]

That's critical because it is how the door optic mounted on the door gets aligned with the door optic mounted on the cabinet.

If this is messed up (bad optic alignment) the machine still thinks the door is open, even if it is closed and latched. So the machine would not exit test mode.

[falconross]

there is a footnote on the the SAS that says if the PC(SAS) does not equal 0 in the winners paid window, mine is 1, the PC(SAS) will be activated not allowing further operation.  It goes on to say in another paragraph that if PC(SAS) is not installed, the address must be 000. 

[falconross]

even if all of this PC(SAS) test inhibited the machine, would it still clear once the door is shut?

Brightened your photo to show details better.

Can you press the WHITE test button and step thru the test/setup menu screens, set the SAS setting to 0? I think the SAS setting is for connecting the machine to the casino server for certain casino operations. For home use this feature is not used.

evidently not.

[falconross]

no, i can't

[falconross]

would removing battery and resoldering maybe clear it?

[rokgpsman]

Was the machine stuck in this way when you got it?

There will be other folks logging in this evening/night, let's see what they suggest.

[falconross]

it wasn't ...it had dead batttery, so I replaced it.  Then got 61 error code, resolved that with test button:), and jackpot key.  The coin comparitor wasn't working so I went on a wild goose chase trying to fix that.  The test button was working, the reels would spin and the slot handle was working too.  I really think by trying to use the jackpot key, test button, I probably put myself in this test mode that i'm in. 

[rokgpsman]

When you replaced the battery did you take a photo of the mpu board or write down the game chip numbers by any chance? This might be helpful. On the mpu board there are 2 socketed chips, there should be labels on top of these chips saying "SSxxxx" on one chip and "SPxxxx" on the other chip. If you can tell us those 2 chip numbers there is a document that gives specifics about the features and settings on your machine.
