This is a machine my brother purchased many years back. When he gave it to me, we ended up having to do a clear, put in a new battery and then it worked, for about a year.
However, a few months ago, it stopped working. When you put a quarter in, it wouldn't do anything. Hadn't used it for several months since then. However, tried to see what I could do, to fix it, this evening.
Went a got a brand new battery and that got me to Code 61 1. I pressed the reset button, closed the door, etc..., but it never moved from that code. I then tried the clear chip and it let me pull the handle some, but that's about it. I then put the game chip back in and I can't get anything now. The red screen shows nothing, pressing reset does nothing.
I am a complete novice at fixing the thing, so any help would be much appreciated.

My problem is that once I did the clear chip and then the game chip, I am getting nothing on the screen...not even the 61-1

Pull the SP GAME chip out of the socket slowly, you may have folded a PROM leg underneath the chip body, instead of inserting it into the socket hole.
The orientation of the chip's direction is important as well.
The indentation on top of the SP chip body should face the etched marking on the MPU circuit board that says "GAME PROM".

Thanks...I just tried that (had the chip the wrong way), but still nothing.
-
once that chip goes in the wrong way it shorts it. you'll need a new chip

Bummer...but thanks

Get one from member RB and cancel anything from mid ohio slots.
-
Unfortunately, already purchased it.
Will know for the next time.

This is a S+ machine. Moving to the S+ forum.

Still need some help here.
I loaded the new game chip into the system and got error code 61. I pressed the reset button and I get 61-1, but that is as far as I can get things to happen. Turning the key does nothing. If I turn the machine off, and then back on, I get Code 61 again.
Since I put the old game chip in backwards, do I need to do a clear again and then put the game new game chip back in?
Thanks again to all for the assistance here. Slot newbie that is totally "frustrated" with no real idea what to do here.

Close the door first before turning the jackpot reset key.

Thanks...I did do that...was turning the wrong key...figures.
Now I got the reels to spin once, but that was it. Stuck on 0000 and 0000 on the next line

I have also done a clear and it ran thru things, but when I place the new game chip back in, I still end up at the 0000 0000 1 read out
