Just did a RAM reset after replacing my battery and that all went will but my screen says Bill Validator Disabled. I looked and can not find where to enable it. The validator has a red circle with a line through it indicting that is disable but I never disabled it. There has got to be a setting that I missed.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Make sure the comparator switch on the front is in the up position.
After clear you usually get an option to select the kind of bill validator you have installed.

My game maker does not have a coin camparator. This has a hopper but it's not set up to be used only cash in cash out.

If you enabled the correct bill validator in setup after replacing the battery then the problem could be with the seating of the cash can or the cash can enclosure door.

Checked all of that and I just replaced the battery in my second Game Maker and it's saying same thing Validator Disabled.

What clear chip are you using?

Buick GS · « **Reply #6 on:** January 12, 2019, 05:25:48 PM »

Game maker VIP P - 10

After the clear did you have an option to select the type of bill validator you have?

Buick GS · « **Reply #8 on:** January 12, 2019, 06:30:21 PM »

The choices were, JCM WBA, JCM DBA, GPT, and MARS1100, II set it to JCM WBA.

Have you tried doing a full clear by turning DIP switches 6,7, and 8 on?
Your board is recognizing the bill acceptor setting you selected but is not communicating with it.
This could be the BV comm chip on the MPU board or a bad EEPROM or simply the connectors on the back end of the machine side BV plug
Try re-seating them, it could also be as previously suggested a cash can door switch or cash can switch behind the cash can.

The BV comm chip is U19.

When I did the reset I only turned on 7 and 8 on dip switch # one. I don't see "Bill Validator Deactivated" anymore my monitor but I'm sending a picture of what my monitor does look like. Just a round red circle which is telling me it's not activated.

Buick GS · « **Reply #12 on:** January 12, 2019, 07:57:22 PM »

Can I use that same reset chip in U19 or do I need another reset chip?

Badbaud · « **Reply #13 on:** January 12, 2019, 09:38:42 PM »

No, that comm chip is rare but it could be your problem.
DON'T plug the clear chip into that socket.
Do you have a working board where you could swap the chip in U19 and see if the BV enables?
Are you sure your WBA has IDO 003 software installed?

I'm not sure if I have that update but I got two machines doing the exact same thing and when you open up the door the monitor says Bill acceptor failure and no printer if that helps

When I did the reset for the Bill validator I'm using the universal 6 which shows channel one $1 channel 2 $5 channel 3 $10 and channel for $20 but nowhere does it say to enable or disable to validater

I didn't try to do the reset with 6 7 8 dip switches in the on position should I try that?

Badbaud · « **Reply #17 on:** January 12, 2019, 10:27:51 PM »

Those are the DSW1 switches.
Are there program chips in the bottom of the bill validator with markings on them?
A EPROM with a label, what do they have printed on them?

Buick GS · « **Reply #18 on:** January 12, 2019, 10:40:16 PM »

WBA 12/13 ID003 then V3.34

Badbaud · « **Reply #19 on:** January 12, 2019, 10:45:20 PM »

The software is a little old but that is the correct IDO.
So we have narrowed it down to wiring or the BV comm chip, I would suspect wiring.
