You can fix almost any electronic device by replacing the aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

I'm following the post - you say the new chips came in and you have 2 error messages.

Not sure what you mean by new chips came in, but I will assume game chips?

Your original problem was coin would not register a credit. OK. If you got new chips and the machine is doing something different, IE 50 and 23. I will go with that.

Error 50 = Slot door open - the main door switch senses the door is open

Error 23 = Coin not sensed - Coin was not sensed by the coin optic (DS2-8 = OFF Diverter optic installed)

This information is from the Bally Proslot 5500 manual from the download section.

So - Are you able to download from the site?

With the new chips your machine door switch appears to not be working. That could be something wrong with the chips or the door or possibly a number of things.
The error 23 says your optics are probably not working - the original problem you started with.

I would suggest -

Put the old chips back in and continue trying to troubleshoot the coin credit problem.

Or

Try to get the main door switch working with the new chips and then work on troubleshooting the optics error 23. The door switch must be working to get the machine to accept a coin and put credits on the machine.

Up to you how you want to proceed.

Trisail, What exactly does this mean: "(DS2-8 = OFF Diverter optic installed)"
  Do you mean that the coin optic board isn't working?<<<IF SO, is there a way to just by-pass the optic board in order to test?
In other words, Is there a way to just allow the machine to give a credit no matter what coin is put into it?<<That way I would know that the optic board is defective.

BTW: Yes, I did get your message about helping while waiting for access, THANKS. I can now access the files.

  I'm at my wits end on this machine. I'd be willing to buy an optic board, if you know somewhere that we can purchase one, but we've just about had it spending money just TRYING different things. Our Social Security money would be better spent in other places, so my wife says...[;-D)

  It's just So Hard To Believe that all of this happened just because I put the chips in backwards when replacing the battery. This old machine had been working Perfectly for 2 decades.<<<But heck, I guess that: "It Is Always Something" or another;)
Thanks again, Trisail, for all of your help. I am DEFINITELY out of my league trying to fix this machine. I just don't have the knowledge or know-how in this area.
We're about to sent it to the dump but it is killing me because I KNOW that it has to be something easy to fix. Unfortunately, I just don't have the knowledge or, more importantly, the money to just keep 'trying things'.
Thanks Again,
Dan

Does anyone know how to just bypass the coin optics and just install a button for Free Play??

I believe divert optic is a set of optics that would be installed at the coin divert chute that would count coins that go to the coin bucket in the slot stand?  You could connect wires from the Psuedo button on the coin optics and connect them to the change button and disconnect one wire from door plunger switch so it thinks the door is open and play it in test mode. /

Once again, Very Kind and helpful, Sunrise. Thank You.

  The main problem is even if it is the coin-in optic board, I can't seem to find anyone that sells them...:(

Have you checked the edge connector on the MPU for bent pins? You now have changed the optic board and If the coin passes through the optics and does not give a credit a couple things to check. The optics send a signal through the holes in the black plastic coin guide block. Make sure the holes are clean of dust build up.
The optics send a single through the guide to a prism. The prism reflects the signal to the receiver's. Be sure the prism is clean of residue.

Yep, I did that awhile back with the old board. I think this old dog has finally hit the wall.
I believe that I'm just going to throw a blanket over it for awhile and 'TRY' to put it out of my mind. Then, one day, I'll have to make a decision on what to do with the old girl.
Thanks Again for All of the help, friends.
Y'all are a great bunch of people.

Be sure DS-2 switch #8 is on and then do a clear. See if error 23 goes away.

Is the coin switch on the front of the computer tray in the up position?
Let them that don't want any, have memories of not getting any.

I think I have the same issue with my 5500.
Orange light on Optics board.
Coin falls through the hopper
Insert Coin light is not lit.
Coin comparitor is no lit.
I also replaced battery, did a reset and everything seemed fine with CLC updates
Coin mech switch is up

I have it even worse than you, mh.
  The lights on my comparitor AND optic board are all saying they are fine and working.
The insert coin light IS on and everything seems normal.
I have NO error codes and the machine looks ready to receive coins and play.
However:
   When you put in a coin, you can hear it drop into the hopper BUT you don't get a credit so you can't play it.
I just got SO frustrated, I just added a button near the coin insert that would let the grandkids play the game. They can push it up to 3 times to enter a credit and then push the button OR pull the handle to play. Of Course, if they win, nothing happens and it doesn't show a win BUT they get a kick out of pulling the handle and watching the reels spin. THEN they try and figure out IF they would have won IF the machine actually worked.
The machine went from our game room to our play room and will probably end up in the garbage heap to give us More Room...[;-D)
It's Always Something.
BTW: HOW are your coins ending up in your hopper IF the comparitor isn't lit?

mh try pushing the sudo coin button on the main board to see if it adds a credit. Also, try pressing the little white button on your coin optic circuit to see if it also adds a credit.

If the sudo coin works your mother board is working
If the white button on your coin optic works then your optic board is working
I'm assuming that If both are work the issue is somewhere between the coin and optic

Just guessing, if your not getting any lights you might not be getting power to your coin comparator circuit which might be a wiring issue.

I'm in the same situation DiverDan is in. I have an electrician looking at my machine at the moment.
