Title: New to the party.. saying hello to all
Post by: ZZPOPZ on August 22, 2022, 08:58:16 AM

I just got my first 2 slot machines and wanted to say thanks to all for sharing your knowledge and  information on troubleshooting issues.
My machines are both double diamond  s+ machines with the 10mgz boards.

Welcome to the party!  I love IGT S+ machines.  Here's a pic of mine.  What's on the wish list?

Great machines I have a Double Diamond Deluxe (The nudge feature is really cool). You will learn allot from these guys. There's also a good chance you'll get addicted.😋 Have you thought about your next machine? I always recommend a Game King. You get allot of games and their affordable. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome.
 Next machine? I just got these 2 weeks ago but i always enjoyed haywire.
Still don't have these running 100% yet ,but feel like i am closer to the finish line.
 I bought them as complete but they had been sitting for a few years and the batteries leaked onto both boards in both machines. So far a fun project that I can have fun with when done.

Update from previous post... machine on the left is up and running. I replaced battery on processor board ,it was leaking. Did the clear chip and still didn't work. All of the door stuff was dead except flourescent lights and the 25 cent in the middle of the readout panel. I did most all of the diagnostic things found on this forum (again thanks to all for sharing your knowledge). I ended up buying a motherboard(the circuit board that lays flat on the floor that the upright board plugs into) because it had significant acid damage.  That was the ticket !  Up and running and I enjoyed working on it as much as learning about these machines as I do playing it.
I am awaiting parts for the machine on the right ,they should be here on Tuesday. That one also had bad acid damage to both boards, I did the battery replacement, clear chip, then fired it up only to get stuck with slowly moving reels and a code 42. I did move reel 2 to the 1 position and still got 42 code. Then swapped out the #5 resister for the #2 on the processor board. Still code 42 with the occasional code 43. I just couldn't get past it so I contacted one of the vendors here on this sight and purchased replacement boards. He seemed VERY knowledgeable and I am confident that It also will be up and running shortly.

Welcome to NLG, a support forum, both physically and mentally [SOA, slot owners anonymous :)].  You got bit by the hobby too eh?  Just remember, he/she who does with the most home machines wins. 

in regards to your board damage; man, that battery did cause some chaos for you.  good luck on getting your 2nd machine up and running.  you shouldn't have any issues repairing it with the knowledge of the forum members.
