My husband and I bought two IGT S+ machines in November from someone on Facebook Marketplace. One worked when we got there and eventually the owner got the second one to work so we went ahead and bought them both. We need help with the one that only kinda worked when we bought it...
This is all new to us and one night while googling for help I suddenly realized that the numbers displayed in Winner Paid were error codes! (yes, this was a spur of the moment purchase with no knowledge of slot machines other than playing them) The error code was 12 and we replaced the battery. We tried to go through the steps after replacement and discovered that we needed a jackpot reset key in order to go any further. We have also used a RAM clear chip and when that didn't work discovered with help that the problem might be the door optics. And by "didn't work" I mean the lights would come on but the candle flashed and you could not get coins to register.
Tonight we installed the door optics and the candles no longer flash, we can add coins and the wheels spin. Winner Paid shows 0. Coins Played is blank. Credits is blank (but we can still play using credits). Insert Coin is lit and Coin Accepted lights up when coins are entered. We can hear the number of coins being played, and hear the coins/credits paid -- although the number of dings doesn't correspond to the number of coins won.
We would love some guidance. I'm good at Googling and telling him what to do, but in this case my Googling hasn't resulted in what we need. I would appreciate your help!
