After Clear+Key = Missing Menu Options: Double Diamonds Haywire IGT s2000

[spaceman.project]

Hi all,


Very green to the board and to slot machines in general.  I am a bit of a stereo / instrument tinkerer so when my dad inherited a couple slot machines that stopped working from his mom, I offered to try to help get them back in working order.  I have 2 slot machines.  1 appears to be DOA and the other described in this post below seems to be close to working--but I need some help!


Machine: Double Diamonds Haywire

What I've done so far:

• Replace the coin battery w/ a new battery holder + replacement battery (LIR2032 3.6v)
• Replace green stacked battery
• Run through code clearing (00097) + re-key (00017) multiple times as per directions found here

When I run through the process of clearing + re-keying, I get to the final steps and instead of receiving the 7 KEY CHIP CONFIG message, I get the Machine Type Mismatch - Close Door M error AFTER I replace the SB chip at the end of the process.  Then I close the door and turn the key once, I get to the config menu, but only have options: 1 (accounting), 2 (history displays) and 4 (I/O tests).

I believe I need to get to the 7's and 3's for the necessary config to get this thing up-and-running again.


I've searched and searched and think that I am missing something obvious and/or not using the right search terms to find my issue.  Any guidance from the wizards here?


thanks in advance!

You're not doing the procedure correctly. After the machine type mismatch, install the key chip, wait for 2 amber lights, shut it off. Replace the base chip, turn it on. Do NOT close the door. Do not turn the key. Key chip config should appear on the vfd. Then you can navigate the key chip menu using the buttons. Once you close the door it will exit the menu.

You were 100% right!  just got it working after following the correct process and dealing with a bill validator seating error -- now running like a charm for the first time!  Thank you for the quick response and support.  Great and informative forum!

I have never once had to put the sb chip in between key and clear. If your game clears properly on the first shot you should be able to set most of the key chip menu options on first boot even if you didnt put the key chip in at all. In a pinch you can actually re birth some s2ks just by swapping srams and erasing the motherboards eeprom in a rom burner it depends on the exact software you have tho.

Ok, back again.

I had the machine working for a good long time.  At some point I got an error and thought that I needed to replace one of the batteries again.  And like an idiot, I pulled out the board while the machine was on.  There was a little spark and the machine hasn't recovered since.

Machine still powers on > get RAM error > twist key > Game Eprom CRC Mismatch -0B000001 > Hold button for 2-3 seconds > close door > door close is not recognized > I sit down for a few minutes > I hear the machine start to run > Coin in Jam / Closure M error.  And at some other point, I received the Config TBL Checksum Error -030000001.  I haven't been able to replicate that one though.

It looks like at some point someone had gone around the door optics, but if I am getting this error, is that possible? 

Once again, still a novice--but was hoping you all could lead me in troubleshooting.  Anything to check to see if there is critical damage from my mistake or what should be checked on these errors? 

Thanks all for your help!

Look for U67 on the MPU and see if it looks damaged. (to the left of the stacked Varta battery)  I replace these often from people pulling the MPU or I/O cards/cables with the power on.

wow!  you called it! I would've likely never noticed it, but can obviously see the damage now that I know what to look for.  While I am decent at soldering, these miniscule chips are something I've never messed with.  any chance you want to take on another customer?   If not, any suggestions on how to handle this? 

Thanks so much for your expert eye!

Yeah. They go off pretty good sometimes. Loud pop and incandescent junk flying. lol...
A lot of times there is a land or two that gets damaged. Needs to get cleaned up before replacing it.

I will PM.
