S+ not taking coins or bills

I'm late getting to this party, but has anyone had him tie off the belly door switch? If not that needs to be done.

Good call. I'll have to check that. Where would the wires be? My cashbox has no door. It had to have been bypassed,  BUT if it did come loose, wouldn't I get an error code? I have no codes

mine never showed errors as it would just not recognize the main door being closed so stopping play. I believe its just another part of the optics systems for security.

My switches are both intact and the switch is on the bottom right of the box. It appears from your pictures that the switch is not there so the wires are probably pulled into the box or pulled out the back. I would hope with that they would be bypassed, but you need to track them down to ensure. Perhaps they came apart when you had door open etc.

Pull the knurled knob on the door next to the door lock, it will open the front belly door.
Youmay have to wiggle the belly door open as over the years, soda pop and liquids pretty much fused that door closed.
It's probably going to be pretty filthy....lol
Up on the top left underneath sometimes is a microswitch....hotslot wants you to zip tie the switch in a closed position.
You may have to remove a couple of screws that hold the microswitch in that position.
Once you have it loose from the bracket, take a zip tie and wrap it around the lever in a closed position.
You can leave it hanging down if you want or you can secure the microswitch back up there with one of the screws.

What number is on the [Coins Played] window of the reel glass display when the machine is turned on?

to do the stand alone test you flip switches 123  and 8  down,  then power up , then flip 8 up,  unit should cycle briefly,  then you can insert bills into the unit and see if it will accept. remove the cash can for this test, if the bills are accepted, they will fall into the area where the cash can should have been. this test will work regardless of the software installed, this test will in fact give you a clue as to which software you do have because of the bills nit will accept or reject.  if this test does not work, then you have a bad head or transport.

as for the cc-16, you should have a connector on the side of the cc-16,  it should have yellow, black , violet, and a red wire loop.

don't worry about the switches being bypassed, if yours were not, your machine would not be working at all.

New CC came, and I installed it. Same problem. So again ran it through the belly door and tested. No light came on. After probing around the wires with just a basic test light, the light flashed. The ground wire was bad. Ran a new ground wite from the CC directly to the machine itself, and MY CC is now accepting coins!  I still need help getting my bv working. I'd like to have a back up to get credits in the machine! Thanks everyone for all help and suggestions

I spoke too soon. I tried different ccs and same result.
