IGT S+ 65-1

[Nawton]

Okay here we go. I bought 2 machines a little while ago and they were sitting in a storage unit. They bot had the batteries leak onto the boards and leave trails on both machines boards. I went ahead and ordered 2 new boards. I did a clear on both new boards and tried both the chip sets I have. I have checked all of the wiring throughout the machine. I stripped it all the way down so I could sand blast anything that had any kind of corrosion or rust on it. When I do a clear it goes through the correct process. Once I finish the clear I change back the chips and boot the machine up. I get a 61 and then I hols down the reset button until 61-1 appears. Once that happens I turn the key one time. Then is goes blank and then shoots out the 65-1 error. This is on a 2 coin Double Diamond machine BTW. Any Ideas please???

Try holding down the self test again and see if it goes away

I have tried that several times. I have tried holding the self test down, opening and closing the door several times. I double checked to make sure all of the dip switch setting were right. Could it actually be the Game Eprom being bad?

Have you verified that the door optics are working ok?

[Nawton]

Yes

If what you've posted is accurate for the steps you've taken, you're missing a step.  After you get the 61-1, you must close and fully latch the door, THEN turn the jackpot reset key once.

As far as as 65-1 error, the correct procedure is to open the door, press and hold the self test button for a couple of seconds, then release it -- the error should clear.

Could it actually be the Game Eprom being bad?

A 65 error refers to the EEPROM on the fixed motherboard, not an EPROM chip on your MPU board.  Yes, it's possible that it's bad, but you'd typically get a 65-0 error in that case indicating that the EEPROM is bad.

Well I got it to work! The next thing I need is to know what I need to do to make it keep adding credits. Right now if you hit anything it just pays it from the hopper. I need to to retain the credits instead of paying directly from the hopper. Everything else works on it now.

Glad you got that error 65 fixed.

Please start a new topic thread for this new problem question. That keep things organized better for us and for anyone else that searches for a solution to a similar problem they are having.  Thank you!

The instructions for changing your machines payout preferences will be best answered by knowing your mpu board SP chip number. So include that with your new post. If you don't know the SP chip number here are the instructions to find out by having the machine tell you what it is:

Or you can remove the mpu board and look at the 2 large chips in sockets, they should have labels on them. One will have the SS chip number and the other the SP chip number.
