IGT Haywire, can it be fixed?

[jidrd55]

Loved the instructions Tilt, almost as good as a picture;
after pressing white button 14 x's  1000 3 7 showing none blinking

In the files directory - there should be Rons's simplified PSR guide (or something to this effect). I think its in Excel format. It has a number of the common chips in it and their options. If you put his guide next to the PSR it will be like a light bulb comes on and all of a sudden things will make sense and you won't need his guide.

[Tilt]

That's a good suggestion Jay.  The PSRs assume you know a lot more than you do when you're new to it. 

Ok, that's showing that your machine's credit limit is set to 1000 then.  Mine was at 0000 by default, not sure why, but I figured yours would be as well.  I had to change it to a non-zero value so it would allow credits to go to the meter instead of paying it from the hopper.  Is your Cash/Credit button lit on your button deck by default?  Meaning when you turn the power on and the machine boots up is the Cash/Credit button lit or do you have to press it to light it?  If you turn it off, it will pay from the hopper.  If it's on it should allow credits to the meter.  If your credits were at 0, the 1's 0 digit should have been blinking, and the Spin Reels button lit to change the value. 

What was the value of the the next one which is the bill validator credit limit  XXXX       5       7?

Thanks Jay, I downloaded Ron's psr made easy for newby's, it does make a lot more sense and I will be reading it thoroughly.
Tilt, it is 1000 5 7, no flashing digits, and I still have the 3300 error code, do I have to fill the hopper to get that code off, I have about $50 in it now apparently not enough.
Before the coin jam the cash out credit button was lit, the spin reels button and the arm worked but the play max credit button, even though it was lit, didn't work.

Yes fill the hopper till it gets done paying out

glad to see progress!!!

check for loose wire on max bet button and make sure it is snapped in good.

[Tilt]

Ok, the bill validator credit limit is 1000 too then.  If you had an active 3300 error (Hopper empty) then that's why the digits weren't blinking and your Spin Reels button wasn't illuminated.  It will only enable you to make most changes when the machine is in game over idle mode and 0 credits on it. 

You may want to increase those limits at some point, but 1000 is good for now.

[jay]

again if the error is not clearing...….press the white button through the cycle close the door.


Universal fix --- lol.....

[jidrd55]

Jay, the universal fix isn't working. So I'm gonna put this to bed til the am. Cooking supper and working on this puppy has got me in a tizzy!
 

Thanks for all y'all's help.

[jidrd55]

 
to all of you who helped, without ever making me feel like a total idiot; I can not express how much I truly appreciate all y'all have done for me in this journey. Tilt, rokgpsman, amechanic, shaggy, sixcardmark, Jim, Jay and everyone else, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Oh and I can't wait to see the looks on my families and friends faces when I tell them Elvis helped me fix my slot machine. And to answer the question, Yes, yes it can be fixed!

As soon as I saw you post "Oh yee of little faith..." I knew you had exactly what it takes to get a machine that you know nothing about up and running...the right attitude!  I'm really happy for you.  I see credits on the machine and a lit bill validator entry bezel so I think the only thing I can do to help now is get the machine off it's side so you don't have any more coin in and hopper jams  .

We'll be looking forward to hearing about your second machine....they have a way of multiplying  .

[sixcardmark]

  Enjoy your machine! 

[Amechanic]

Great work👍.. You should make a small scrap book for people to see what it was, to what is is now. I know your now hooked. I started with one, and now have one in all most every room!  Have fun

[jidrd55]

Ha, Ha! Thanks Tilt, I actually woke up to a 3100 error code this morning, all clear now. I was actually searching the web this morning for another project slot! 
Amechanic, I am posting the pictures of the LEDs, I removed the starters and ballasts. I have a folder on my computer with all of the pics and posts of the info given so on my next one I will already have the answers to many problems that will pop up.
Thanks again for all the help, needless to say but I couldn't have done it without y'all.
Now if the Saints can hold on to their lead and hand the Rams their first loss, all will be good in my world! Sorry California boys!


Oh yeah, I forgot to add that the total cost for the machine and parts is $475, about $75 of that was shipping and I did have some major parts donated.

[Tilt]

I was wondering if you'd gotten around to installing the LED tubes or not.  How do you like them?  I've been really happy with mine.

[jidrd55]

I love them!
