S+ Multiple errors

[jay]

With a 1231 or 731 you can set the default to Credit.
With no credits the cash/credit button overrides this, and it will pay out by coins, and if you have credits then it dumps those credits to the hopper.
The simple solution to this is to simply pull the wire off the bottom of the cash/credit switch. I actually move it to the contact that runs the light. I like lights.
Normally the cash/credit button does not light up.

A few other things I do as well:
1. I also set the hopper limit to 9999 and credit limit to 9999 - This prevents the machine locking up by having too many credits on the machine.
- with 731 the hopper and credit are the same value and with a 1271 they are separate.
2. I set the DBV to 1c - so while the machine still shows $1 or 0.25 this allows me to put on 100 credits for a $1 bill.

Hope this helps.

Thanks but if I set the default to credit and unhook the cash out button, as soon as there is no credits in it and someone inserts a bill or plays for the 1st time and hits something won't it at that point default to the hopper therefore giving the 3200 error resulting in me having to ramclear the machine again?

Nope.
You set the default to credits and it stays that way until you hit the cash credit button.
Since it’s disconnected you can’t change it back to coin.

You want to set the max credits to 9999 otherwise when you hit something - ie 600 coins.
The machine goes into Hand pay and you need to use the reset key to clear the win.

Try it.

Ok, that worked pretty great! The bv is working, sending credits to the machine as well as coins and payouts.
FYI, I set it up with the SP2271 & SS7721
A couple things though...
I could not figure out how to set the max credits and
For some reason I lost my reel spin sound, I have the reel stop sound but not spin sound.  Dip 3 is still on, I didn't hit it accidentally, the only thing I can figure is I messed sound up in the option settings somewhere.

The biggest problem has been eliminated so it is just the max credits and the reel spin sound.
Thanks

Change 2_0 to 2_1 for sound.
SP1271: Set both 7s to 9999 for max credit/hopper limits.

Thank you everyone for all your help.  The machine is doing exactly what I need it to do, take in coins and bills to credit and payout only to credit.  The last thing to do was address light bulbs in the buttons but of course, it isn't the bulbs that are the problems. The only button that lights up is the one to the far right, max bet button I believe. Kinda hard to tell if their getting power because the door needs to be closed to test them.  Anyway, that didn't bother me much so I ran about 30 bills thru it and was surprised to see it would accept a newer 20. Ran a few more through it only to have it start pulling in the bill about a inch then sending it back out.  I guess the activity I put through the MEI bv was enough to wear the rubber off the right roller or band as shown in picture(can't tell which it is).

So, at this point, drop the price and see if the guy still wants it when he shows up tomorrow.  I did a quick inet search for a repair kit for those and didnt see many options. 

Anyway, thanks for all your help, is anyone has a idea as to where to look for the bulb problem let me know.  The guy will be here at 1pm Sunday to see if he wants it.

He, this machine just never wants to work and will get it's own way.
Customer picked it up after working great for a few days here, plays it for about a half hour and it gets it's original problem back, 3200 and that is with everything going to credits, not even a win on the spin it stopped on, so I have no idea why it would have attempted to access the hopper. 

The machine wins, guy gets a refund tomorrow and the games goes where all my old games go to die, into storage unit and eventually parted out. 
Makes no sense other than that machine just never REALLY wanted to work.

Sorry, just venting.... have a great day!

Well, I decided to try the motherboard from the S+ I have that only goes ding, ding and to my surprise it solved the hopper error on this one.  That tells me with the other one it was not the motherboard and leads me to strongly believe its the power supply.

As for this one, works great.  Only thing is the MEI ZT1202 needs the rollers or belts replaced.  Anybody know anyone that can take care of this or someone that maybe 3d prints a blank to put on the front of the s+ and remove the bv?
