The door optics have 2 screws on the bracket for adjustment. Cabinet side up and down. Door side in and out. Way back I said the take a picture of optics with your phone. The light is faster than your eye, but camera will get it.

I even hate to go here, but it has to checked out before we suggest all the items that could cause the door optics from working!! Since this machine worked once before and moving it around is the only variable, perhaps the cash can door switch is still attached and has not been by passed?? this certainly would cause the door optics not to work.

check out the cash can switch, make sure it is by passed.

Good thought Jim. I have been positive of door not being closed from the beginning. Cash can totally slipped my mind. Also belly door switch.

This will show door optic test

Thanks guys! Spent the day at the storage unit auctions, just getting around to this slot machine... I read your guys' comments and have a few questions:

1) The cash can... what is that? Also, by bypassing it am I bypassing the BV? I want to make sure the BV works once we finally gett the machine working!

2) RockinElvis mentioned something about a belly door switch, not sure what that is either? I actually looked and I couldn't see any switch or sensor for the belly door!

Fixed tiny font issue. -knagl

Bypassing cash can switch will not disable anything except an open door error.
Don't think any s+'s have a belly door switch.
Here's a pic of the cash can door switch, this one has been bypassed.

Some of the later run of S+ machines did, plus slant top S+ machines do, too. Not many uprights do, but it is possible.

I'm merging this topic back into the earlier thread of the machine not accepting coins -- this is all related, and creating a new topic is only going to cause people to rehash things that have already been tried.

OK, good to know. I have around 10 s+ machines here and none have/had any belly door wires or even a place to mount a switch.

I'm assuming the cash can switch is bypassed because I don't even have one! I took a photo of the optics, not sure if I did it right?

Also, the back rigth long black connector on the motherboard is giving me some trouble, the green wire seems like it's in there nice and tight, but I'm unable to pull the whole connector off right now, it doesn't seem to want to come up. It's also hard to see what I'm working with, but it looks like it's just a little tab that needs to be pushed in and then you should be able to pull it right up?

If you have a bv and don't have a cash can in it, then that's the problem. We need to know what bv you have. Dvb200, wba, if not sure post picture.

sixcardmark · « **Reply #109 on:** October 05, 2018, 02:35:23 PM »

Pull the cash box out and look for wires in that cage somewhere.

If that black connector on motherboard is snug, it's probably OK.(leave it for later)

Sorry I misread. Didn't see attached pictures

Very interesting... Strange that a cash can would require optics instead of something else!

https://imgur.com/a/ap3W8Ee

The wires look plugged in. I ran my finger through the optic line and every time I do that the bill validator turns it's gears a few seconds after.

I'm hoping this is good news, but I have no idea what this means and also:

1) If the machine worked before like this, but it isn't working now, why would bypassing these sensors be a fix?
2) If what I need to do is unplug those wires, how in God's name do I do it?! They are tiny it and due to their location it seems like I would need to remove some stuff to get there, but I don't see a easy way to do that?

therockinelvis · « **Reply #112 on:** October 06, 2018, 04:50:53 AM »

Those are for the cash can. The wires you are looking for are green. Reach behind the validator and see if they are tied up. Very important they are connected to each other and not grounding to the frame. Most of us cut them at the front of the machine. I have seen a few where they were stuffed between the frame and BV

sgolembiewski0903 · « **Reply #113 on:** October 06, 2018, 02:09:22 PM »

Not exactly sure where behind the bill validator I should look for the wires, here are some pics I was able to take.

1st pic are the cash can door wires tied together bypassing the door switch.

sgolembiewski0903 · « **Reply #115 on:** October 06, 2018, 02:27:37 PM »

Hmm, so that answers that question... so are we back to door optics again?

sixcardmark · « **Reply #116 on:** October 06, 2018, 03:14:30 PM »

I guess we need to check for that rare belly door switch. Open belly door and look around for a switch, or two wires tied together.

Did you try the camera test that Elvis suggested? Looks like maybe the door is a tad lower than the cabinet optics?

Amechanic · « **Reply #117 on:** October 06, 2018, 03:31:42 PM »

I just saw this on YouTube on testing the S+ optics. Have you run this test.

No belly door switch unless it's hidden! I did take pictures but it was kind of hard to get a good camera angle, not exactly sure what kind of pictures need to get taken for that test (I'm guessing as straight-on as possible). The pics are posted a few posts above this one.

My gut feeling is that since the door optics test failed, the door optics must be not working or they're out of calibration or something like that...

Is there a checklist or troubleshooting guide on how to address a 13_0 test fail? I also find it very difficult to see if the optics are lining up, the paper/draw-a-line test doesn't seem exact (does anyone know how perfectly calibrated the optics have to be?)
