Houston...we had a problem. I have a WMS BB2 test set-up running an MEI SC6607 bill validator. It's been working for years - without any problems. I use the set-up to test BB2 validator heads and Cashflow boxes. All of a sudden, the green LEDs on the bezel stayed on continuosly....even with the door closed. :no: When I go into Diagnostics, and run a CRC check, it will time-out, not give any checksum numbers, and cannot find the acceptor, nor pull in any bills. :scratch-head_3: But when I get out of Diagnostics, and back into game mode, it pulls in bills, they get stacked inside the box, but zero credits get registered. So I put in the known good head...no go. :bawling: I throw in the known good cashbox....no go. :scratch-head_2: You know what it was? The Interface card. :lightningbolt: I swapped the interface card and everything works perfectly. :yes: but...get this....I pulled it from an IGT i-Game BV unit? A wow moment...I never knew it doesn't matter what machine you use an interface card from? ??? |

I wonder why the bad interface card doesn't send credits back to the MPU? I found out why...>>> Old age creeping into these IGT G23's now. The spring contacts are getting flattened out from the bill head contacts pushing down on them forever. Contact springs #7 and #8 were lower than the others...I sort of re-bent them a little, but it is what it is. I suppose you could spray some contact cleaning spray like De-Oxit or CRC, but that won't help much from worn out springs. I got the BV to communicate perfectly with the machine again...we'll see how long it lasts. Here's the link to the spring contacts I was writing about...>>> https://youtu.be/fHQsAerdIyk |
