Might want to remove the mpu and see what's hanging up the volume control. It should move freely from one stop to the other. If you take out the mpu you can post a photo of it, maybe we can see something not right. Was the old battery leaking anything out of it, or was it just dead but clean? Since the mpu mounts vertically sometimes stuff comes out of the battery and drips down onto another area of the mpu or even the motherboard.

Yes post some pics. Let's see if the MPU is the problem.

Sometimes people can turn a volume pot hard past the endpoint and then it gets jammed. If your sound is working ok then you can worry about the volume control later, get the error 61 cleared up and enjoy playing the game. If you do look at the volume control you can examine it closely and maybe can see what is going on with it.

The volume control will look something like this, has its terminals soldered to the board.

They'll send instructions on the chip. You can put a piece of tape on the the machine and pencil mark where the optic is. Then put one on the the door with the latch all the way down and mark it. When the door is shut with the latch down the marks should line up.

ok pencil mark is slightly off... maybe 1/16 - 1/8 th but i also dont have the coin tray in... that might lift it the difference..

I don't think the coin tray touches the door so it shouldn't matter. On some machines there is a metal lifting ramp mounted on the cabinet and a roller mounted on the door, so it helps to lift the door a little as the door is shut.

On the mpu board there are 2 main software chips, they are eproms, labelled on the board as GAME and REEL. These chips are mounted into sockets so they can be removed. To do a CLEAR procedure you remove one of these chips and install the CLEAR chip, then power up the machine to do the ram clear. The SET procedure is similar. As Shaggy said, the chip will come with instructions.

The coin tray won't make a difference. If the latch is going all the way down and the marks are off, you need to loosen the screws and move the the optic slightly. These are an emitter and a receiver and have to line up for the machine to work. Try a slight adjustment and see if the door closes and makes the displays blink.

Do you just pull it off the board?

Are you talking about the board tray? It should always be on. The coin tray is not important in this phase.

not sure what you are referring to, I'm gonna be quiet for a bit so I don't get things confused.

leocat168 · « **Reply #32 on:** May 01, 2016, 05:45:18 PM »

ok I'm going to adjust the door optic slightly and send the pics of the mpu...brb

Shaggy · « **Reply #33 on:** May 01, 2016, 05:48:47 PM »

DO NOT power anything up with the MPU out of the machine!

no worries

leocat168 · « **Reply #35 on:** May 01, 2016, 05:55:20 PM »

the adjustment wont go any further in the direction i actually need it to... but its only a hair off... and if i lift on the door slightly it lines up and still no change in the display

Shaggy · « **Reply #36 on:** May 01, 2016, 06:00:54 PM »

Generally S+ machines don't have optic problems but it never hurts to check.

leocat168 · « **Reply #37 on:** May 01, 2016, 06:02:06 PM »

I'll try anything

leocat168 · « **Reply #38 on:** May 01, 2016, 06:03:15 PM »

funny thing is i cant get it to go back to the 61-1 either

Shaggy · « **Reply #39 on:** May 01, 2016, 06:05:08 PM »

But have you checked behind the optics to make sure there isn't a wire that has been pinched or broken? After getting to the 61-1 when you close the door it should clear and come back on and initiate or go back to 61. If the display doesn't clear, the optics are not working.
