Well shaggy I wired the green and the Green/Blue together, it gave me the 61, I pushed the test button, and it gave me the 61-1, then it went back to 61, and will not come off of that, if I push the test button, the 61 disapears from the display, and returns a couple of second after releasing the button.

So I have all of the cut wires put back together, but it still stays on 61, and will not go to 61-1. If I take the mpu from one of my other machines and put in it, should I not be able to use it?

I've done that before and it is a great way to check it out. Obviously reels etc. won't be right but if the machine comes on and plays, you'll know the trouble is in the MPU. Now if it is a working board and you get an error like a door open, then I would still say optics.

Hi again shaggy, I actually tried the MPU out of one of my other S-plus, and I still cant get past the 61 error, and I know the swapped MPU is good. I even tried pulling the CMOS chip out for 10 seconds, I got the 61, pushed the test and got 61-1, then it went right back to a 61 again, now its like it was before, it stays on 61. I also pulled the optics out of one of my other machines and put them in the project, with no change. I installed the project optics in my good machine and they work fine. So I am stuck again.

So the 2nd mpu did the same thing in the 1st machine but works fine when put back in it's original machine. Did you have to clear a 61 error when you put that board back in the 2nd machine?

I have actually tried the MPU from both of my other S-Plus and got the same result, yes I did get the 61 when I replaced in the original machines, but I cleared it right up and the games went into play with no problems

Shaggy · « **Reply #26 on:** May 28, 2018, 01:48:15 PM »

So the MPU from #1 clears the error and works in #2?

Bomackey · « **Reply #27 on:** May 28, 2018, 01:52:21 PM »

If you are asking if the MPU from my project machine clears and works in my known good machine, I have not tried it in there, I am kind of afraid it would disable my good machine, then I will have 2 that needs to be fixed. Do you think it would cause any problems if I tried it?

Shaggy · « **Reply #28 on:** May 28, 2018, 02:03:26 PM »

I can't see where it could hurt your working machine. I bought one one time not working and tried the board in a working machine and when it didn't work I new where the trouble was. Regular board went back in and worked fine. I guess my point is, if the known working board doesn't work in the project, I still think there is some wiring issue inside the machine. Check the project board that all the chips are facing with the notches correctly.

Well shaggy I bit the bullet and tried the project MPU in one of my good machines and it powered up and played, so that rules out a problem with the MPU. What are your thoughts on it maybe being a bad Mother board?

Shaggy · « **Reply #30 on:** May 28, 2018, 02:18:59 PM »

Sweet! Now we're making progress. And at least you've ruled out the mpu. I was thinking the same thing a few minutes ago. Pull the mother board up and check for a coin possibly shorted out under it. Look for a burn mark. You can always swap mother boards too. Let's rule out the boards before you start digging into wiring. I hate digging into wiring.

Bomackey · « **Reply #31 on:** May 28, 2018, 02:24:20 PM »

I had pulled the motherboard loose enough earlier to check for coins, and did not see anything. I actually have it laying here on my desk now, I am going to look it over and try it in one of my known working machines.

Shaggy · « **Reply #32 on:** May 28, 2018, 02:27:32 PM »

I know some of this gets kind of tedious. Glad you're sticking with it.

Bomackey · « **Reply #33 on:** May 28, 2018, 02:52:06 PM »

It will get to a point where it makes me mad, and I will fix it, just in spite, LOL

So I put a known working Motherboard in the project machine
I used the MPU from the project
I powered up, and the reels spun and stopped
I close the door, I do not get the normal reel spin that would normally happen, but the #3 reel will spin really slow for no reason
the insert coin light is on
i will not take a coin, but I can open the door, used the button on the coin comparitor and i can add 3 credits, and with the door open, I can hit spin reels and it will spin and stop.
I am getting a 5 in the winner paid window and a 1 in the coins played window
the 5 will stay for a few seconds, and then it will goback and forth between a 42, and then back to a 5 and so forth

Shaggy · « **Reply #34 on:** May 28, 2018, 02:55:50 PM »

The 42 is a reel 2 tilt. Open and close the door should clear it. Do you have a copy of the error codes and resolutions. I know this may be moot but do you have a sample coin in the comparator? You're getting closer all the time. Sounds like the mother board was bad. You might even try opening and closing the door a few times.

Dave

Bomackey · « **Reply #35 on:** May 28, 2018, 03:02:17 PM »

Yes, I have a copy of them, and I also do have a coin in the comparitor, I am not sure what is going on with the 5 and 1 popping up

Shaggy · « **Reply #36 on:** May 28, 2018, 03:03:36 PM »

Yeah I'm trying to look that up. Have you tried pushing the test button and cycling it through until the end? Maybe its in the test menu somewhere.

Shaggy · « **Reply #37 on:** May 28, 2018, 03:10:17 PM »

I had a weird thing happen once. Either reel 2 or 3 kept giving me a reel error. I opened the door with the power on and turned that reel a few clicks back and then shut the door which made the reels spin to correct the one that was off. It never did it again.

Bomackey · « **Reply #38 on:** May 28, 2018, 03:29:42 PM »

woohoo I got to play!!!

I messed around with it and the 42 went away, then I got a 41, LOL, I pulled the reels and re-seated them, #2 was in a bit sideways and I thought maybe it was binding up somewhere. I got them straight and it everything cleared and the reels spun and the insert coin light popped on. Well I was trying tit on tokens and it took my 3 and spun like it should, I played about 10 minutes and it payed a few times, so now I know I either need a mother board, or have my worked on. The problems I have now is no sound at all, whether it is during reel spin, coin in, or when I hit something on the payline. Also the handle hung in the down position when I pulled it.

Bomackey · « **Reply #39 on:** May 28, 2018, 03:42:32 PM »

O.K. my bad on the sound, the volume was all the way down, LOL, I messed around in the handle solenoid area and it released and is working at this time
